Originally, the design and implementation was to be done using a database system. This system would be used to assist the faculty advisor and student in selecting the appropriate series of courses for the student to enroll in so graduation could be quickly achieved. By placing student and department data in an on-line database, the advisor will be able to obtain accurate and timely information and eliminate a portion of the clerical work. vii The contents of this document are divided into major sections on: 1) background information; 2) current department advising processes; 3) general system design requirement and specification factors; 4) specific file design; 5) specific software module functions: and 6) evaluation and conclusions. Although part of the initial system design was coded and tested, the implementation was never completed. This was due to the unanticipated loss of the AMBASE database software plus an increase in project size as more requirements were added to the system. As a result, this project was redirected toward documenting a revised system design which conceptually could be implemented on the University's Control Data Cyber 750 computer system. Hopefully this could be accomplished with the aid of an appropriate database package on the Cyber and the design material found within this document. viii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1.1 Introduction Faculty members, particularly in their roles as student advisors, are inundated with university, depart­ ment, and student record paperwork. Therefore, the goal of this thesis is to attempt to improve the delivery of advising information to the Computer Science faculty member. This goal can be achieved by implementing the on-line undergraduate advisement system described in this thesis. Basic requirements for an on-line advisement system were developed specifically for the Computer Science department. After initial specifications were formulated, implementation of one module was attempted. Because the project encountered slowdowns, the project's goal was re-shaped towards the completion of the data file and module designs for the advisement system. 1.2 Background To be useful, advisement by computer must have accurate and up-to-date information in its database. This is necessary to assure that appropriate academic choices are made when educational advising is done. 1 2 In addition, it is prudent to monitor the student's progress toward achieving his/her educational goals. Computer-aided advisement will allow Computer Science faculty members to keep up with continually changing curricula and an expanding student population with diverse educational backgrounds. Many faculty members use a university catalog, various lists of department requirements, transcripts and hand-tracking procedures to perform their advising tasks. These items can be cumbersome to work with and can pre­ sent interpretation problems for faculty. This is true especially for faculty who are not interested in the complex but mundane advisement process, or for those faculty who must advise in fields outside of their edu­ cational and career experience background. Also, they usually are not provided with adequate advisement infor­ mation and training. In summary, faculty members can become dissatisfied in performing advisement tasks and students may not be given adequate guidance because of: a. Shortage of time b. Excessive number of students to advise c. Lack of advisement materials d. Lack of up-to-date and/or accurate materials e. Inadequate training in procedures f. Inadequate access to up-to-date student records 3 g. Low incentive/interest due to repetitive, bookkeeping character of the task h. Ambiguous rules and requirements. Some of these advisement problems may be allevi- ated by introducing the use of an on-line computer advising system. Such an implementation could reduce costs through savings in faculty member time. An on-line computer advising system will provide: a list of courses necessary to meet requirements for graduation; student class/grade record history; course substitution (for example, for transfer student course equivalency credit); and examination results in certain areas of proficiencies. In Robert Spencer's (20) article on advisement by computing, he lists the following capabilities which may be provided. 1. Instant on-line and printing capability. 2. States and tracks all requirements for gradu­ ation. a. University b. General Education c. Major 3. Categorizes requirements within major. a. College b. Department c. Major d. Specialization 4. Capability to insert and track individually tailored and approved degree programs. 5. Capability to track number of classes, number of semester hours, and combinations. 6. Lists prerequisites for required courses. 7. Capability to show narrative information. 8. Includes all credit, substitutions, and waivers. a. Institutional credit b. Transfer credit 4 c. Miscellaneous credit (i.e., AP, CLEP, Military, etc.) d. Substitutions e. Waivers 9. Instant update capability. 10. Capability for students to "shop" for a major and review immed~ately change of major consequences. 11. Capability to change requirements as frequently as every semester, but track each student by date of entry into the major. 12. Provides management information. a. Course use by major and specialization

Your belief in our mission and your financial support make it possible for us to continue the unique work we do in Connecticut’s legal aid community as the only agency devoted to impoverished children in Family Court. While the need for our services continues to be great, 2015 was a year of challenges. Late 2014 legislation changed the process for appointing attorneys for children in Family Court, resulting in decreased caseloads. Evolving trends in foundation priorities and targeted guidelines that no longer focus on “basic human services” have left us searching for new funding sources. Continuing legislative action with potentially damaging impact on the representation of children has kept us vigilant. We are facing intense pressure as we continue to persevere in this uphill climb. Nevertheless, 2015 brought impressive highlights as we served more than 2,300 children. Our statewide expansion is almost complete, with the additions of Litchfield and Middletown Judicial Districts. Annual Report 2015-FINAL.indd 2 5/2/2016 3:23:20 PM Fundraising has also increased. Our annual fundraiser earned record net profits and we received many new or increased foundation grants. We also earned the support of more individuals like you! The mission of We continue to be well respected in our field, and have hosted The Children’s Law Center statewide trainings on topics relating to both legal representation of children as well as mediating high-conflict families.
