Recall that, in the final year before the ABET visit, we are required
to create packets for EVERY required course offered ALL this year.
(This applies only to courses carrying undergraduate credit --- ones
numbered <= 699.)  

- This applies, not only to courses required by our own major, 
   but to courses we teach that are required by other majors.
   So, for CS, besides our own required courses, we need to 
   collect data on CS 112, 454, and 670.  

-  For each course, please collect AT LEAST the following:
      a) A copy of the OFFICIAL course syllabus (I don't know
         whether IT courses have these, but required CS courses do);
      b) A copy of the syllabus you hand out to the students.  
         For CS, that will include all the stuff on the official syllabus,
         possibly minus material about related (a-m) outcomes,
         plus particular material about your own section, such as 
         amount of time on each topic;
      c) For EVERY graded assignment, save photocopies of 3 
         papers, one a high grade on that assignment, one a 
         middle grade, and one a low one.  The evaluators will 
         want to see what sorts of assignments/tests you give,
         how the students are doing, and how you grade it (so
         be sure the photocopy includes your red ink).  
         At the end of the course you will also be required to
         evaluate student work on each learning objective (a.k.a. 
         goal) of the course -- so you might as well decide this as
         you go and note it at the time.  (There's another step here
         Anant Kukreti is encouraging that I haven't yet quite figured
         how best to handle, so we'll have to do that a bit later.)
         IF YOU HAVE ALREADY TURNED SOME ASSIGNMENTS BACK
         UNPHOTOCOPIED, such is life -- just keep copies of
         everything from  here on out (and ask to see whether some
         students would be willing to give you their early assignments
         back to photocopy).
         (Assume for now that, for a course with a single lecture
         and multiple labs, you need one set of grades for the course 
         as a whole, not one per section.)  
      d) Copies of any handouts you gave in the course, and printouts
         of your web pages for the course.  (The evaluators will be
         rushed, and it's easier to turn to another page in a folder than
         to go to another web site.)
      e) References -- preferably links -- anybody else's (potentially
         copyrighted) material you told students to read.
      f) A copy of your own end-of-quarter assessment of the course.
      g) Whatever else you think would add.
      h) A copy of your textbook (but this you can lend to the department
         for just the 3 days the evaluators are here -- and possibly for 
         another 3 days in March -- so as long as you don't leave town
         you can hang onto the books for now).

We'll bind all these together into 3-ring binders, one binder/course.
These will be available for the ABET evaluators to examine while they're
here.  (This is NOT part of our own assessment/improvement cycle.
Rather, it's to provide lots of data for the evaluators to have readily
available.)  

(And yes, we are open to discussion of how best to keep the 
information.  Another would be to have it all electronically, with a CD 
with one subdirectory per course -- but I don't want to be asked to 
supervise assembling that.)
