Mary,

I'm attaching a Word document with answers to your second set of Scribe questions.  My answers are in blue.

FYI: Again I'm copying this to the on-campus DegreeWorks listserv.

Note:
Last week when Laurie Perry was here, we discovered an error that will impact many scribed blocks: The alpha characters after a course number in the print catalog should not be used in coding.  These would include W (for writing intensive courses), L for labs, and G for graduate level.  That should be the extent of alpha characters that appear after course numbers in the catalog.  If the DegreeWorks requirement is coded with a W, for instance FAMS 310W, and the student takes FAMS 310, then the requirement will appear to be unmet and FAMS 310 will "fall through."  Laurie showed us about making a correction within Scribe, but then said it might be possible to do an across-the-board adjustment to remove all alpha characters after course numbers.  If that's possible, then great.  If not, we'll work on making that correction when we begin training/testing in November.  I apologize for not pointing this out in my earlier authentication files.  It's one of those things that since almost everyone here on campus understands it, I mistakenly assumed those outside the school would understand in the same way.

Thanks again for all your hard work.  We got to see the results of that hard work in the sample degree audits we saw last week in technical training.  We are quite happy to see our program details being translated into a working degree audit program once again.

Thanks, Jane

Mary,

I'm unable to open the Word document you sent.  The message I get says that some parts of the file are missing or invalid.  Can you check the file, resave, and then re-send it, please?

Thanks, Jane
