Our keynote (to be given by David Gleason from the Univ. of Texas in Dallas) will focus on learning to think productively and effectively with more than one hat - something most of us have to do on a daily basis! This should prove very interesting. You can register online at http://www.okairp.org. 2. Call for proposals! If you have a proposal for a session which you would like to present, please let one of the board members know as soon as possible. 3. Board vacancy - if you would like to nominate someone (or yourself), please respond as soon as possible! Thank you, and I am looking forward to seeing you all again! Lynn J.

Basically, they maintain a database that contains every instructor from a responding institution and the historical grade distribution for that instructor. We have never received a data request from Pick-a-prof. If we did I suspect our response would depend upon whether grade distributions by instructor are considered public record--something our administrators would have to decide. -- Philip Hawthorne Institutional Research Eastern Oklahoma State College email: phawthorne at eosc.edu phone: 918.465.1786 From ceasterling at oru.edu Wed Sep 17 09:01:49 2008 From: ceasterling at oru.edu (Cal Easterling) Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 09:01:49 -0500 Subject: [OKAIRP] Pick-a-prof In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <48D0C77D.44A2.0019.0@oru.edu> They provide the following to students: Design your semester's schedule with the Schedule Planner. For each course you will be shown... 1. Professor Grade Histories Only Pick-A-Prof posts grade histories, the number of A-F's given by every professor in every course, directly from University records. That means before you register, you can look up a course and see the number of A-F's each professor gives in that course - straight from university records. Yes, seriously. 2. Professor Reviews, Ratings & Evaluations 3. The sections your friends are signing up for! 4. Class times and locations from your university schedule The following schools have participated, but I am not interested. Have a happy day! >>> "Billen, Isabelle" 9/17/2008 8:11 AM >>> Has anyone received a request for data from the company Pick-a-prof? If so did you provide the data? Paper form or electronic?

All such requests can be submitted to our communications department (I think they ended up with this responsibility because they handle so many media requests). Communications then works with our legal department to review requests to ensure that we are following the Open Records Act, as well as FERPA guidelines. Based on this, it was determined that grade distributions were public record for all sections with more than 10 students. We therefore were instructed to provide this data to the Pick-a-Prof company. We started out providing paper copies, but through the years we have converted to providing everything electronically. Hope this helps.
