DEG data

So, many teachers have experienced much frustration with wait times while working on the computers. Mike (Bachrodt) shared a log sheet that orgainzed wait time in seconds for various features of the DEG. Already aware of slow changes, I know that I will be filling in lag times as I use the DEG here at school.
Moreover, I revised the original log and printed copies to tape at the computer stations in the department. I emailed my department to inform them of what the logs are and how to utilize them, as well as why. Hopefully, they will record the necessary data as slow DEG response times occur. Then I can compile the results and turn them into Mike Bachrodt.
Already, several teachers have complained at a computer while I was in the room, which provided a perfect opportunity to direct their attention to the new logs. Since, I am considering revamping them to include other lag time areas, such as waiting for a program to actually open for use.
