Course Description
This course has been designed to assist Data Administrators in evaluating current data collection systems in their department or
company. Regardless of the size or purpose of your organization, you collect data in one form or another. Some of us are used to
the old paper and pen method while some of us are almost completely digital. Both systems have pros and cons, which we will
discuss in this course. Knowing the reason your company collects various types of data, who the responsible parties are and what
the output format will be, has a great bearing on the systems you use and the issues you will face. We will take a look at all of
these factors over the next 5 weeks to help you lead or support the implementation of more accurate and robust data collection.
Creation of a Learning Contract

Each of you come from a different background and may have slightly different expectations for this course. The purpose of this
learning contract is to ensure each student sets and completes his/her objectives. The contract is between the student and the
instructor, created as a way to clearly communicate course expectations for both parties. It will be completed at the end of the
first week so that you have an idea of the material that will be covered and the options for projects used to demonstrate learning.
This contract should be personal to you and focus on what you intend to get out of this course. To help you begin this process,
please complete the KWL chart provided on the first day of class. Use this document, along with the course description to begin
developing objectives. During the submission of the Learning Contract, the instructor will meet with you to provide feedback.
Once it is finalized, both the instructor and the student will agree on at least one in-person check-in and sign the contract. A copy
will go to the student, one to the instructor and one will be kept on file with the department, to be revisited during the follow up
meetings to ensure the objectives are being met.
