5.1 Error-Checking Reports
The Error-Checking Reports page provides a variety of reports that can be run to find errors in the set-up of your subjects. Running these reports will help ensure that all your teaching and evaluation information (including survey questions) is correct. Examples of error-checking reports that can be run include: Subjects that will be evaluated, Teachers missing a teaching role, Students who don't have Kerberos IDs, and Questions assigned to teachers who will be evaluated.
To run error-checking reports for your department:
1. Click the "Reports" tab at the top of the page. The color of the tab changes once you've selected it. The Error-Checking Reports page displays for your department.
2. Select a report topic from the dropdown list. There are five topics to choose from: Subjects, Teachers, Sections, Students, and Evaluation Questions.
3. For the topic you've selected, select the specific report you want to run.
Your report choices for subjects are:
-
Subjects that will be evaluated: This report includes all subject numbers which will have at least one question displayed on the evaluation.
-
Subjects flagged for evaluation with sections awaiting registrar approval: This report includes subject numbers flagged for evaluation with section modifications that have not yet been approved by the Registrar's office. Teachers in these sections will not be evaluated until approval is granted.
-
Subjects flagged for evaluation but no students enrolled: This report includes subject numbers flagged for evaluation but with zero enrollment. These subject numbers will not be evaluated.
-
Subjects with assigned questions but not flagged for evaluation: This report includes subject numbers that have evaluation questions assigned but are not flagged for evaluation. These subjects will not be evaluated.

Your report choices for teachers are:
- Teachers that will be evaluated: This report includes teachers that are flagged for evaluation, have a teaching role, and have at least one question assigned to them. They must be in a registrar-approved section, with a meeting time and location.

- Teachers assigned by subject: This report includes all teachers assigned to subjects within the department, regardless of whether the teachers will be evaluated.

Your report choices for sections are:

- Students who don't have a Kerberos ID: This report includes students registered for credit or as listeners who don't have a Kerberos ID, regardless of whether their subjects are flagged for evaluation. This report displays as a Microsoft Excel document.
- Students missing Kerberos ID in subjects flagged for evaluation: This report includes students who are both missing a Kerberos ID and are registered for credit or as listeners in subjects flagged for evaluation. These students will not be able to evaluate subjects unless they get a Kerberos ID. This report displays as a Microsoft Excel document.
For Evaluation Questions, your report choices are:
- Questions assigned to subjects which will be evaluated: This report includes all questions assigned to subjects flagged for evaluation. This report displays as a Microsoft Excel document.

4. Make sure the correct department is displaying in the department dropdown (select from the dropdown list if needed), and select the term and survey window. The term will default to the current term and the survey window to the end of term window for the current term. Make any necessary changes to term and survey window.
5. Click "Run Report." Reports will display below the report criteria on the Error-Checking Reports page—except for the Student Kerberos ID and Evaluation Questions reports, which display as a Microsoft Excel file. Clicking on a result that displays on the Error-Checking Reports page will take you to the Teaching or Evaluation Details page for that subject, where you can edit details, if necessary.
