Data Integrity Gateway

Each term SLEQ liaisons receive a link to set up the department's course data in DIG. The sections below contain instructions on how to edit certain fields in DIG and publish the courses. The information on this page can also be found in the [PDF - 331 kB]

NOTES:

1. Courses should be published in DIG 4 weeks before they end. This allows for the 2-week question personalization period and a possible 2-week evaluation.
2. The SLEQ system uses an 80% rule to determine the timing of each evaluation. Evaluations open after 80% of the course is done with a maximum 2-week evaluation and a minimum 2-day evaluation. For this to work properly, both start and end dates need to be accurate.

Editable Fields: Evaluate (Y/N), End Date, Start Date, Instructors and TAs

Evaluate (Y/N)

All credit courses at H漫画 are mandated by senate to be evaluated. However, there are a few exceptions to that rule: Master鈥檚 Thesis, Doctoral Thesis, Directed Studies, Labs, Tutorials and Co-op terms are not required to be evaluated but can be if the department chooses to evaluate them. Be mindful that the course being evaluated needs to be appropriate for the SLEQ instrument. For example, co-op work terms would never be appropriate for a SLEQ.

All courses are set to be evaluated by default, so if a course should not be, you need to change its EVALUATE field from Y to N.
