What is a Progress Report?

A progress report is a request for student feedback sent from the Student Success and Engagement (SSE) team to faculty.  It is a tool that allows the SSE team to proactively gather information about students' performance, so intervention may happen when necessary.

Progress reports will generally be sent to all faculty at pre-determined points in the semester to elicit specific feedback, however, the SSE team has the ability to send progress reports to faculty by college, program, or class. 

Please note, that progress notes do NOT replace early alerts, they are a complimentary tool that will allow us to better serve our students.

Responding to a Progress Report

Periodically throughout a semester, Baker College will send progress report requests to faculty via email.  The request email will contain a link to the Progress Report Feedback form.  If the faculty member teaches multiple sections and/or courses, they will all appear on one page through the email link.  See below for an example of a student feedback request email, and a student feedback form.

Faculty may also submit progress report responses from the Professor Home page.

Progress report requests sent by the College will often ask for feedback regarding a specific alert reason (limited or no academic activity, a grade below the required minimum, etc.).  Faculty will simply mark yes or no in response to the specific question asked, select the alert reason from the provided list, and add comments (optional).

To submit the feedback form, faculty may click EITHER THE "Submit only marked students (but I'm not done)" button if they need to return to fill out more progress reports later, OR click "Submit unmarked students as not At-Risk (I'm all done)" button. This option gives you the option to only manually mark students who are at risk and automatically mark everyone else not at risk when you click this button.

That's it!  Once you have submitted the student feedback form you are finished.  Depending on the alert reason noted on the form, a case may be created.  If a case is created you will be notified when the case is closed and what the outcome was.
