Finally, printed edit listings are prepared for you to isolate missing data and document data completeness. Before going into specifics about each FWS component it is helpful to have a global understanding of the system. Figure 1 presents a visual flow of significant events that occur each quarter. The 10th day census deadline influences your statistics but does not require action on your part other than getting all students registered prior to that point. It cannot be overstressed that the data and information this system produces are only as complete and accurate as the departmental input.
Departments control if and what data is entered.
Final edit listings are maintained in the OIS office showing missing data by department and instructor. They can be provided as context to those who interpret the summary reports. Correcting all such conditions prior to the deadlines is essential. Only credit courses that are on the SDB are included in the Faculty Workload System. The department can identify who is instructing each class from the moment the course is placed on SDB until the middle of the quarter.
