IA Demo – What you are seeing
The Interactive Audit is presented in three
primary levels of detail:
Audit, Categories (groups of requirements),
and Requirements. The pie chart at the Audit
level represents total hours, while the vertical
bar represents cumulative grade point average.
By clicking the Requirement bars of the bar
graph, you can drill down into finer details
of the audit. Notice that the pie graph and
audit details change to reflect the current
level of detail.
All graphs of the Interactive Audit are represented
in terms of hours. If a requirement or sub-requirement
is defined in terms of a course count instead
of hours, the number of hours required to meet
the requirement is either estimated based on
the requirement's criteria and DARwin data,
or can be set manually by the encoder when defining
the requirement. In other words, the hours in
the bar graph reflect how your encoder chooses
to define this to DARS.
Feel free to navigate through the audit, using
the bar graph to navigate down into the details
of the audit. You can navigate back to higher
levels of the audit by using the "bread
crumbs" (the links in the top left corner
of the page). Your browser's 'Back' button should
also work.
At the top right, you’ll notice a View
Course History link. This is designed to provide
the reader a quick visual reference to academic
progress. The View Academic Progress link will
return to the Requirement presentation.
This particular Interactive Audit already includes
Planned Courses added by student/advisor. Additional
planned courses can be selected through the
Interactive Audit either by clicking on a course
link within a SELECT FROM line of a sub-requirement
and choosing Add, or by manually entering the
course into the Course Cart. Courses in the
Course Cart become Planned Courses when they
have their box checked and the drop down selection
of Make Courses Planned is selected.
We hope you’ll enjoy familiarizing yourself
with the DARS Interactive Audit. Please contact
us, at your convenience, with any questions. |
