Co-Op Student Evaluation Project

Meeting Minutes - 1/6/05

• General Notes

• Co-Op office gets list of students registered for Co-Op on SIS
  • Can also tell what students have registered with Co-Op office
  • List of students on Co-Op is sent to ITS in week 7
    • We will have access to that data at that point
    • We can use the existing database structure
  • Students sometimes register late (weeks, months, quarters late)
• Current system: people have to know the URL
• E-mail address verification is a tricky issue
  • We would like to have a link to the system from some RIT websites (SIS, JobZone, etc.) so that the system doesn't depend on links in emails
  • Send email to RIT address as well as the (optional) address students provide
• Session cookies are OK
• HTTPS
• Use DCE for authentication
• There is some question about whether the data is being passed to the current system to allow us to retrieve a student's info given their DCE username
• Stagger notification email sto reduce load on the system
• Jim & Mark want to push (some) reporting back to later iterations so that it can be finalized
• Questions could have categories (attitude, ability, etc.)
• Do student view for first iteration
• Will be using Bugzilla
• Jim has a department secretary in mind to do testing
• Jim strongly wants integration with the existing system
