WELCOME FACULTY MEMBER

SUPERTUTOR
After logging in as Supertutor, you will see a page with all of the submitted essays that have not been assigned to tutors.

To assign essays:
Simply select a tutor from the dropdown box and click the assign button to the right. The dropdown lists all tutors that have accounts on the system.

To view completed essays:
Click the View Completed Essays link on the top menu. This shows ALL essays that have been completed by tutors ordered by date.

User Management:
This is where accounts will be created. Supertutors can create all accounts except Administrator accounts. Admin accounts will not even be displayed on the Supertutor user management page. Like the Appalachian Trail site, if you create a username for different user types (i.e. supertutor, faculty, and tutor), you will need to ensure that your username is different for each account you create.

Class Management:
This is where you can add, edit, or delete the class listing that appears in the dropdown box on the Submit Essay page. This allows students to select courses whose titles are exactly the same providing much more accurate reporting for you and the faculty members.

Faculty Management:
This is where you can add, edit, or delete the faculty listing that appears in the dropdown box on the Submit Essay page. This allows students to select the faculty member teaching their course. Since the names will be stored exactly the same, much more accurate reporting will be provided for you and the faculty members.

Help Code Management:
This is where you can add, edit, or delete the help code listing that appears in the dropdown box on the Submit Essay page as well as for the Tutors. This allows students and tutors to select the appropriate help codes and store them properly in the database. Since the names will be stored exactly the same, much more accurate reporting will be provided for you and the faculty members.

Department Management:
This is where you can add, edit, or delete the department listing that is linked to the majors appearing in the dropdown box on the Submit Essay page. This allows the departments and majors to be stored properly in the database. Since the names will be stored exactly the same, much more accurate reporting will be provided for you and the faculty members.

Major Management:
This is where you can add, edit, or delete the major listing that appears in the dropdown box on the Submit Essay page. This allows the departments and majors to be stored properly in the database. Since the names will be stored exactly the same, much more accurate reporting will be provided for you and the faculty members.

Reports:
This is where you can view any of the 12 various reports on the COWL system. Each report except ‘Average Response Time’ will allow you to put in a set of dates so that you can run your reports on specific periods of time. ALWAYS use the Calendar Icon to put in your dates. The database only accepts dates in the format of yyyy-mm-dd. Average Response Time is an ongoing calculation.

TUTOR
After logging in as a tutor, the tutor will see all essays that supertutors have assigned to them.

Tutoring a student:
The tutor simply needs to click Edit on one of the essays assigned to them. The tutor will be taken to a page displaying the essay in an editable textbox. They will be able to append their comments into the essay submitted by the student. We suggest that a student use the “highlight” feature to highlight their comments. This will make them stand out easily for the student when the student returns to see the tutor’s comments.

Tutors have the option to Save the progress of the essay or to Complete the essay. Saving the essay will store all modifications made up to clicking the Save button. Completing the essay will flag the essay as completed in the database. The tutor will be asked to fill in some additional comments such as help given and any other information he/she wishes to include. The student will receive another email informing them that their tutoring has been completed, giving them their tracking number again, and the website address to go to see the tutor’s comments.

Viewing Completed Essays:
Tutors, when clicking on this link, will be able to see all of the essays that they have completed. There are no date restrictions on this report.

Setup Tutoring Session:
Tutors can click this link to setup a tutor session manually. They will be taken to a page that mimics the Submit Essay Form. The only difference is that all essays submitted from here will be coded as a ‘trad’ or traditional tutoring session. Essays submitted via the Submit Essay Form by students are coded as ‘cowl’.

FACULTY

COWL Report:
After logging in as faculty, the faculty member will be able to see a COWL report for each course that they were listed as instructor for. This report mimics the one that Wendy used to compile by hand for faculty members. This report will allow you to put in a set of dates so that you can run your reports on specific periods of time. ALWAYS use the Calendar Icon to put in your dates. The database only accepts dates in the format of yyyy-mm-dd.
