tbl1_honors_candidates

Description

This table is used by the Solutions Honors Candidates utility program to keep track of students who are candidates for math department honors courses.

Source

This table’s data is filled by importing data provided by various sources throughout the university (School of Engineering, SAS Honors College, etc). See footnote.

Footnote

Our department goal was to get all of this data in same format in same timeframe so that we could import a single spreadsheet into this program. We have not been successful in coordinating these efforts, so we might require some additional data-formatting procedures before being able to import the data as provided to us by the other colleges. In its current form, the Honors Candidates program will assume imported data is in a format like the sample file in MATHDATAhonors_candidates_data_template.xls

Columns

ID int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT

Options

display="true", null="true", search="false", type=""

the_semester varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL

This program has typically only been used before Fall semester when honors candidates are widely recruited; however it can also be used prior to Spring if desired.

Footnote

Possible future direction: student data in this table is uniquely used by the honors candidates program. Since we also have student data used in the Request Portal program (tbl1_Students table) it might make sense to combine this information in the tbl1_Students table. That will require a lot of changes to the Honors Candidates program, however
