Subject: [Classclimate-users] URL address wrong on tickets
I sent out this question earlier and received no response. The tickets that are printed for the surveys still have the incorrect URL address printed on them. What's the correct address and is this something that can be corrected for the future?

Class Climate users,
At Jay Beam's request, Jill Bateman and I have been asked to coordinate organizing a meeting so we can work through some of the logistical issues we are all bumping up against in Class Climate, such as the multiple instructor issue. We think that issue and several others are going to require us to come to a consensus as a group, in one or more meetings, so that OIT has some guidance on programming the PeopleSoft-Class Climate data transfer.
We won't - and shouldn't - change anything for spring semester, since that would probably mess everybody up right now. But once Jill and I have a chance to put our heads together, we'll be sending you info about a meeting, probably sometime in May, after the spring semester is over and things slow down for all of us.
Meanwhile, you can add to the list below of major items that we'll need to discuss as a group:
1. How PeopleSoft-Class Climate data will be configured to handle multiple instructors.
2. How sub-semesters will be identified (academic periods less than 15 weeks long).
3. How will the group decide on major changes like the ones above - majority vote? Who represents each dept? Etc.
- Jody

Jill,
I was wondering how you used PeopleSoft to get your list of courses? I have been pulling up course offerings and ClassClimate and working between the two screens-
I use Advanced Search by instructor in Course Offerings, they list all instructors.
It is tedious but was the only solution I could come up with.

Hi Judy,
I'm glad you brought this up because it's a pretty hot topic in our college. We've been talking about alternatives like reassigning course numbers, which makes me wonder if this might be a good topic for a face to face discussion. I know it's late for that for Spring Semester, but maybe over the summer we can address this issue on a larger scale.
What we are doing for this term is putting together a list from PeopleSoft of all the courses in our college which we sent to the individual departments. They will tell us which courses should be evaluated - including which instructor in the case of multiple instructor courses, and then I will manually make the changes. So my vote, at least for now, is that as many instructors and courses as possible be loaded and I will manually select courses and instructors based on the data from our directors.
If that makes things difficult for other colleges, however, I am able to modify courses and instructors. I just need to know what you decide to do and when you decide to do it.
I also wonder if it might be worthwhile to see if we can get some time with Micheal at scan tron to help us out.
Thanks,
Jill

I have been working on this,
The School of Theater has many classes with more than one instructor and classes with instructors who teach the lecture part of a class and GA's who are in charge of a discussion section (and who should also be evaluated)
Here is a partial list that I gave up listing - I gave up in order to manually enter all of our classes so that we can generate paper evals- I am working to get our evals out before finals week...

Subject: [Classclimate-users] Can't generate an eval for course with multiple instructors
Listserv --
We currently have an issue in Class Climate that requires resolution, and it merits a discussion for OIT to programmatically address the problem.
At OU - and within PeopleSoft, a course can have multiple instructors of record. In some cases, there is actually more than one instructor who teaches the class that semester - or the 'instructors' may be professors who actually never teach the class during the semester - or the 'instructor' may actually be an administrator (e.g. in eLearning, nursing courses) who should not be evaluated.
Class Climate users are unable to generate an evaluation for some course instructors because we load (from PeopleSoft) only one instructor per course - the employee with the first (lowest) EMPL ID in the system is chosen by default.
We need to determine the best/most appropriate method of choosing and loading this information into Class Climate OR an alternative solution for users who want to create an evaluation for an instructor who does not appear.
Possible solutions:
1) Currently, the administrator for the sub-unit has the ability to manually change the instructor within Class climate. We can leave the pull from PeopleSoft and the load to Class Climate as they are, and the admin for the sub-unit could change the instructor for these classes to the actual instructor for the semester at the beginning of each semester.
2) We could load ALL instructors for each class into class Climate from PeopleSoft instead of just the first one.
Questions:
1) How would the sub-unit admin be advised of when - and who - to change?
2) Can a Class Climate user add an instructor to a class when there are actually multiple instructors for the semester?
3) If there are multiple instructors for a class, will they all appear in Class Climate?
4) Can the Class Climate users choose one instructor from multiple instructors to evaluate?
5) If there are multiple instructors teaching the course for the semester, should all of them be evaluated?
6) Are there consistent rules for any of these across colleges, etc?
7) Is there a way to determine how many courses this issue effects?
As a starting point, we should probably make a determination about the number of courses which are affected by this issue. Can anyone give us an idea what this number is?
Thanks for your input!
