IDT 516 Final Project (Week 2)

Hello World!

Well this is the second post tonight, for some reason the first one didn't load properly. For this week I've really been just waiting for feedback. I have chosen option 3 for my final project. For my subject for my online database search I have chosen the APR (Academic Progress Rating) which is used by the NCAA to govern schools athletic teams. I'm not sure this is the best topic for this search but its something that I would like to know more about so I felt it would be a good topic to search. Hopefully next week I will have more to report on the overall process.

Stay Classy!

Hi Cody, Since I work with students who are sometimes athletes in the admissions office, I think this will be an interesting topic to follow. Good luck. Monica

Cody, your topic sounds good. It will be interesting to see which databases you choose and how you conduct your searches.

The blog looks great and the topic sounds interesting. I will need to follow this more as I will confess that I know little to nothing about this topic or academic leagues in general. Best of luck in the searching.

Cody,
I think this is an awesome topic as the APR (Academic Progress Rating) is something that is EXTREMELY controversial right now. I think it's so controversial due to the fact that so many schools do so many things that cross the lines to help students achieve better grades or to graduate to help out their rating. I would love to see what research you come up with on this topic!
