Articulated Transcript Documentation

Articulated Transcript Report

Purpose
The purpose of the Articulated Transcript Report is to document articulation for an individual student at a targeted institution. Before this report may be generated, the articulation standards for the target institution must be imported into the course, and a correspondence between the tasks and the articulation standards of the target institution must be created. The articulation standards are defined for each potentially articulated course at the target institution. If the articulation standards for a particular institution or course are unavailable, consult your curriculum advisor or system administrator. The report incorporates an average grade for the articulation standards of each course at the target institution at the beginning and end of the report. When selected via the Assignments option, the individual assignment grades considered in the calculation of each task grade are also included. When weights other than 1.00 have been specified, the weight will be parenthetically added to the task description. This report may be generated for one institution at a time. All potential articulation courses for the target institution are included in the report.

Report Generation Panel

Report Options

When unchecked as shown above, the report is generated without detail of the individual assignments and any student grades for those assignments. The articulation standards for each articulated course of the selected institution are listed along with the tasks correlated to them. If students were specified, a calculated grade for each task is displayed along with a further calculated grade for the articulation standard as a whole. This level of detail is appropriate for most transcripts. If the calculations do not appear consistent with the student's capabilities, try checking the Assignments check box to determine the data used in these calculations. When Weights other than 1.00 have been specified, they will be displayed after the standard or task description in parenthesis. A summary of the grades calculated for the articulation standards is included at the beginning and end of the report.
 
When checked as shown above, the assignments correlated with each referenced task are displayed in addition to the articulation standards. For each articulated course and the selected institution, each articulation standard is listed. The tasks correlated to the articulation standard are listed below the description of the articulation standard. The correlated assignments are listed below each task description. If students were specified, a calculated grade for each assignment, task, and articulation standard is also displayed. This version of the report is useful when the articulation grades do not seem to correlate with the students capabilities as it displays all of the detail used to calculate the individual grades. When Weights other than 1.00 have been specified, they will be displayed after the standard or task description in parenthesis. A summary of the grades calculated for the articulation standards is included at the beginning and end of the report.
 
The drop down list box is used to select the institution that articulation credit is sought for. The report will be generated for all courses of the selected institution. Only institutions that have had their articulation standards are available for selection in this field.
 
All students may be selected as shown above by checking of the All Students radio button. Alternatively, individual students may be selected by clicking the Selected Students radio button and using Shift-Click and Control-Click to select as many students as desired. If no students are selected and the Selected Students radio button has been checked, a generic report illustrating the correspondence between the articulation standards, tasks, and optionally assignments, will be generated.
