Weekly Report: Quickadmit Application, Scarf degree report, Powerfaids upgrade, ICS 101 Project 2
I spent the better part of this week figuring out why the quickadmit application was not working. I had to step through line by line, keeping track of variables and such, but finally narrowed it down to a value in the table sarerul. Faye changed it and documented what needs to be setup.
I've been working on the Scarf degree report this week fixing problems. Some are data entry errors, some need to be manually fixed in the file itself. I also sent the OUS second week report in today.
I upgraded Financial Aid's powerfaids database to version 11.0NG today. The old database is still in tact and they will be using it for query only since the new version doesn't allow you to query beyond 3 years. This was something that was supposed to be fixed in the software but up to this patch, it still is not available. Since the database changed, I updated their website to connect to the new database and loaded a patch so that it works correctly with the new version.
I finished up another Integrated Seminar/ICS 101 project for the provost office for data on returning freshman (attended fall and returned winter term). I wrote several functions in the wou_misc package for this report that can can be used by other reports.
f_get_gpa <- retrieves Gpa of student.
f_get_tests <- retrieve SAT scores.
f_get_hsgpa <- retrieves high school gpa.
