So I got an email from the Berkeley servers writing that my upcoming schedule has changed. (If it's so important, why not send an email saying what the change is?) So I log on to BearFacts where not only did I find out that my early afternoon class got changed to an absurd 5:30-7 pm slot, there was a strange button that said "photo release -- NEW." Intrigued, I click on it to find out what it is. Using your picture from your student ID, your professors can get a look at who you are anytime they want. It's a nice idea, but something about it strikes me as odd. Maybe it's just me who finds this all too weird. I mean, isn't having them see you 2 or 3 hours a week enough? They can eventually match names and faces. They're not dumb, they're just professors.
