Fun Administrative Games to Play at McGill University (part one‽)

Minerva ---> Personal Menu ---> Name Change ---> Preferred First Name

Minerva allows students to input a "preferred first name". It won't appear on your transcript, but it WILL appear on your professor's list of students, right under a lovely picture of yo' face.

It looks like this:


Weasel
Bag
(Young Weezy)

Thanks to the lovely bracketing, the system allows us students to tell the professor something about ourselves before they meet us. For example...

..........
Uncleaddaspdasdasppa.ckkKevinaddadaspdasddpekkManfred von
Samaddadaspddaspaspek kSmithaddasdaspdasddpkkRichthofen
(wants you)sdaspddaspas.. (filmmaker)sdaspdasddpe(red baron)

or...

Doeaddaspdaspdasac ekk...Smithaddadasps pacdek.Jones
(asshole)addaspdapd aspa.(genius)adddasp aspadce(love machine)

Give it a try. I dare you.

Bonus points if you change your name.
