The Computer Science department is happy to make available to all DVC faculty a series of "parsing" tools. Parsing is when the computer "looks" through some text, in order to pull out some information.
The tools can be accessed via the menu at the left of this page. Here is an explanation of each:
Email parser
Your WebAdvisor roster contains a list of student emails. It would be nice to use this list to email your students, but it's not easy to pick out each address one-at-a time. Using the email parser tool, you can select and copy your WebAdvisor roster, and then paste it into the box provided here, then click a button, and the parser does all the work!
The parser can present emails either in a list with one email per line (in alphabetical order), or it can present them in a form compatible with the TO, CC, and BCC fields of email programs.
Besides WebAdvisor, the email parser can find emails in any page that you can copy and paste into it!
WebAdvisor roster parser
If you know how to do it, you can copy and paste your WebAdvisor roster into Excel. Then with a few editing steps, you can get the names, IDs, and emails of your students.
But with the roster parser tool, you can paste your WebAdvisor into the box provided, and download an Excel spreadsheet with the names, IDs, and emails already in the right places!
Course SLO assessment form
If you assess student learning outcomes based on each student in a section of a course, then this tool can create for you a spreadsheet for reporting and tabluating the results. For each outcome for each student, decide whether the student (1) gets it, (2) doesn't get it, or (3) is somewhere in between. Record it in the spreadsheet.
For departments that use the assessment forms for several of their classes, there are assessment summary spreadsheets on the U drive (see U:\Student Learning Outcomes\Instruction Office\Assessment Spreadsheets).
