EXPLAINING DETAILS OF THE DASHBOARD (ON YOUR HOME PAGE)
1. Student Statistics: These statistics compare the number of students already registered on the website with the number of students enrolled in the class. Registering refers to creating an account on the website. (Teachers can change the number of students listed for their class by going to MY CLASSES, List All, and changing the number under STUDENTS ENROLLED and clicking SAVE CHANGES.) If a teacher only has one class participating in the project, then that one class is listed and the statistics will be the same as the total. But if two classes are listed, teachers can see the number of students registered in EACH class. 2. Registration Fee Payment : These statistics refer to those who have completed the payment process. Credit Card Purchases refers to those who paid by credit card; Instructor Purchases refers to those who paid the instructor. Pending Purchases refers to students who indicated they are going to pay the instructor but either (a) they have not as yet or (b) they have paid and the instructor has failed to check them off as paid on his or her dashboard. (You check off a student by clicking on Pending Purchases.) Purchases Undecided refers to when a student starts the payment process but, for one reason or another, stops in the middle and fails to complete it. 3. Action Period Statistics: These are only shown when the Action Period actually BEGINS. The categories are pretty straightforward and self-explanatory. 4. Teachers are able to see the email addresses of all students in a particular category. This means that if a Teacher or TA wishes to email all those students who have not yet completed the Op-Ed to remind them of the impending deadline, for example, they simply click on the link and copy and paste all the student emails in that dashboard category into the TO: of the email or into the BCC: of the email (if the teacher wishes to keep the student emails private). 5. The Last Time Each of your TAs Logged In: As indicated in Section VI (Important Things You Should Discuss with Your TAs), you can click on MY TEACHING ASSISTANTS and see which TAs have logged on to the publicanthropology.net website when. (This allows you to see which TAs are, and are not, taking the project seriously.) The last time each of your TAs logged on to the publicanthropology.net website is also listed on your home page. |
