How do we deal with these situations: The administrator is busy or not available when the agent wants to communicate. The network goes down when an agent sends a message to the administrator. The agent goes down just after sending. Both the agent and administrator go down during data transmission. We have to make sure that an agent is not blamed for a technical problem it has no control over. ============= Howe to deal with network problems? agent cannot communicate with admin and runs over time limit. administrator sends info to agent who never receives it. Network problems should not affect the ranking of an agent and the students grade.
