PGPTP (Pretty Good Pre-Term Planning) Data files

Course Times File

Course times are given in the format: Academic Year Term Course Catalog Number Instructor ID Meeting type (lecture, seminar, ...) Day-Time

Course Enrollment

Course enrollment files have the format Term, in the format YYYYT, where T=1 -> Fall, T=2 -> Spring Course Catalog Number Student ID Faculty ID Gen-Ed CORE

Course Catalog

The course catalog has entries for years from 2004 to 2014 in the format Academic Year Course Catalog Number Course Course Title Department Dept 1 Dept 2 Instructor ID (Term 1) Instructor Name (Term 1) Instructor ID (Term 2) Instructor Name (Term 2) Term Pattern Gen-Ed Core

Notes: The CCN may be changed or re-used over time, so that is why the academic year is needed. Note that with the new SIS system, the CCNs will all change. We will need a mapping from the new CCNs to the Old.

Some courses are offered by multiple departments; when that happens the Dept 1 and Dept 2 fields are filled in.

The instructor ID and term of that ID is interpreted as follows. If the course is offered only once, the instructor id will be the Instructor ID for Term 1. Which term will be indicated in Term Pattern. If the course is offered twice, the the Instructor ID for Term 1 will be the ID for the instructor in the Fall term, and the Instructor ID in Term 2 will be the ID for the instructor in the Spring term.
