T5. COURSE REPORT
(CR)
A separate Course Report (CR) should be submitted for every course and for each section
or campus location where the course is taught, even if the course is taught by the same
person. Each CR is to be completed by the course instructor at the end of each course and
given to the program coordinator
A combined, comprehensive CR should be prepared by the course coordinator and the
separate location reports are to be attached.
