As a GC faculty or staff member you might want to contact ORE
if:
- You are doing research and need pre-college entry data (ACT
information, high school percentile. to name a few)
and college performance information (GPA, credits
completed,
etc.) for
students to use in your analyses.
ORE staff have
access to the University's Data Warehouse,
which contains
admissions and registration information
(current and historical).
Primary contact for this type of request is Jennifer
Connor.
- You
are doing research and would like to develop an online
data collection instrument.
ORE staff have experience in
designing web-based data collection mechanisms. One
example of this is
the electronic Midsemester Review
Process (new this Fall). Primary contacts for this type of
request are Robert
Diggins
and Jennifer Connor.
- You are doing research and would like
assistance with methodological design and/or data
analysis.
ORE
staff have experience with data analysis
procedures such as General Linear Modeling,

Modeling (Factor Analysis
and Structural Equation Modeling).
Primary contacts for this type of request are Jennifer Connor
and Cathy Wambach.
- You
have an idea or see a need for a specific curriculum or
program evaluation project.
Your ideas and feedback, gathered
from your practical experience "in the trenches" of
teaching, are valuable in helping to shape a research
agenda for ORE. Primary contacts for this are Cathy
Wambach and
Jennifer Connor.
Data Reporting Functions
Midsemester
Reviews (MSR)
ORE helps produce Midsemester
Review reports near the 6th week of each semester. These reports
are filled out by instructors and reflect each student's achievement
in the course
at that point. These reports are meant to alert advisors to problems
that their students may be having with current course
work.
Class Lists
Class Lists are updated during the first weeks of
the term and provided for instructors electronically on the
GC file
server.
Student
Services
ORE provides tabled information to support Student Services
administration. Such information includes GC student academic
standing (GPA,
credits completed,
Dean’s list status etc.) and registration status.
