Subject: Collection of Materials for NCA Accreditation by Undergraduate
CS Course Instructors

> One of the requirements for NCA Accreditation is to show example 
> studentwork for all undergraduate courses for at least one semester 
> prior to an
> accreditation visit. The CS Undergraduate Studies Committee 
> requests this
> information for the Spring 2006 semester as we prepare for 
> accreditationnext Fall.
> 
> - Blank paper copies of all course assignments (homework, lab, 
> project,quiz, exam). If this is all available on the course www 
> page, just point me
> to that page, or give me access to your course on Blackboard as a 
> TA and I
> will copy from there.
> 
> - Paper copies of three examples of graded student work for every 
> homework,lab, project, quiz, exam. We need 3 examples of each 
> assignment (it does not
> always need to be the same students):
>  - One "good" grade
>  - One "average" grade
>  - One "poor" grade
> We would like to show graded work with good feedback, so use your best
> judgement when picking representative work. Or include a copy of 
> the answer
> key if that is provided to students.
> 
> We understand that this item is going to entail some work on your 
> part (or
> your TA). For lab classes we suggest you pick one dependable TA to 
> each week
> pick 3 representative students? work and make copies of their graded
> programs for labs. If there are multiple instructors (sections) for 
> the same
> course, we need materials from each instructor.
> 
> Please place these materials each week in my mailbox in the CS 
> dept. I will
> be sending reminders every 2 weeks or so.

> Thank you
