I'm trying to think of something more stupid than this but it's not easy... (lemmy.world)

My girlfriend started taking a Masters in a college this year. In her course the faculty have shown some disorganization and computer illiteracy since day one but the latest one...completely killed me.

Besides their personal college e-mail, they wanted a platform to make announcements for all the course (20 students). I can think of a thousand ways to do this. Hell, even a Facebook group would be better. But no...

They have an e-mail address (like [email protected]) where all the info is sent and EVERYBODY has the password to enter the e-mail and check the inbox.

That is it. I have no words. I think this is the most idiotic and dumb thing I've ever seen in IT.

Well, can't say I'm surprised. I had something like that in pretty much every school I was in, just that ours were actually Gmail accounts. For non-technical folks it's an easy and obvious solution. And to be honest, it works...

It "works" if everybody is well behaved and you don't care about niceties like seeing which messages have been read.
