I've been working almost entirely on Freshman Academy. The start of school is just around the corner and has creaped up fast! I'm still ironing out some kinks and am really just waiting for the finalized data to be put into the program. I'm going to try and pull as much information out of banner so this will go smoother next year without having to try and pull teeth by getting spreadsheets sent to me. That will cover the student side, however mentors, fellows and assignments will always need to be entered manually since they change constantly are not already in the system. A lot of this information isn't even in electronic format. I've been talking with Mark Baldwin about how best to extract student information from banner tables and he's been a big help. I'm sure there will be issues once the program starts getting used, but I'm hoping to minimize the changes needed.
