NRC Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs
Placements/outcomes of degree recipients summer 2001 through spring 2006
- these instructions are the same as those in the Excel
What you should do
- Read this intro tab including "why this is important" below
.
- Use the empty columns on the List tab to record current positions, employers, and
locations for your degree recipients.
- Return the Excel by email by 1/29 to
NRC_UCB@colorado.edu
- OR, decide to do nothing. See below for what will happen.
Why this is important
- NRC will use "placements" in rating programs.
- The only place NRC is getting placements is on the faculty questionnaire.
- NRC will also publish summary info about placements, for each program.
- Many UCB departments have centralized lists/info on current positions of their graduates.
- Recording current-employment info here and returning the Excel will
- Save your faculty time
- Result in a more complete info on placements than you'd get from relying on
individual faculty members to complete this info in the faculty questionnaire.
What's on the List tab
- Rows on the List tab are
- Students receiving PhD's in your program summer '01 through summer '06
- Students in NRSC and COGS are listed with NRSC/COGS and the home program.
- PBA will put together any competing info received.
- Columns on the List tab show
- Student name and current SIS ID (at far right), plus year degree was granted
- Name of the faculty member on whose faculty questionnaire the student will be listed.
- Students whose chairs are gone or not receiving faculty questionnaires will be
listed with the instructor of record of a dissertation section. If we could not
find a dissertation-section instructor who was getting the faculty questionnaire,
we selected a committee member.
- The column "faculty status" shows the faculty member's relationship to this student.
- Slots for current position, employer, city, state, and country
- These are filled in for the 150 cases (of 1250) where the alumni association had the info
on file as of 1-10-2007. However, the alum assoc info MAY BE OBSOLETE.
- Feel free to OVERWRITE anything that's there already.
- There are no control values or set formats, except use 2-character postal codes for states.
What happens then
- On the faculty questionnaire (Q)
- What you list will be "pre-populated" by NRC on faculty questionnaires in item F1,
with student name and degree year.
- Faculty may delete, change, or let stand anything that's pre-populated.
- Faculty can fill in any slot that is not pre-populated. If you don't return the Excel, your
faculty will see all empty slots, which they can fill in as they desire.
- If an individual does not respond to the faculty Q. at all, NRC will
NOT use any pre-populated data for that person.
- FYI, about the faculty Q:
