8 years ago Chris, what is the source of your data? I don't see a way to isolate grades between different sections on http://www.irp.gatech.edu/reports/grade_distributionsmry.php which is the source of the grade reports.
Perhaps your source could also be used to break out the different sections of 8803.

8 years ago If you click on "CS" in the left-most column it will open a detailed view for the associated term that breaks out all of the sections. Then you can simply look for courses with "O01", "O02", and so on. It will also allow you to split the 8803 sections.

8 years ago ahh... Thanks... I have to say that is not the most obvious option

8 years ago Will be fixed along with the Fall 2015 grade import once Fall 2015 grades are available.

8 years ago Fixed. Now, the grade data includes data from only online sections going back to Spring 2014.

8 years ago I'm not sure whether it was intentional or not, but it looks like the current data set only uses a single semester for each class. I have a combined dataset for all OMS semesters in JSON format - although I kept the O01 suffix on all keys - at: https://gist.github.com/cgearhart/8d38b212f8db8bd67868bcc04d037da6

8 years ago What made you reach that conclusion? I made sure to include every OMSCS section going back to Fall 2014.

8 years ago The grade counts differ significantly and the data in firebase for each course exactly matches the data for only a single semester of each class. Taking a single course as an example, consider CS6250, which has run every semester in OMS since Spring 2014. The data on firebase linked from the course survey at https://gt-surveyor.firebaseio.com/grades.json shows "6250":{"a":97,"b":5,"c":1,"d":0,"f":2,"i":0,"s":0,"total":117,"u":0,"v":0,"w":12} which exactly matches the counts reported on IRP for Spring 2014, while the cumulative data that I compiled from IRP for all semesters shows "6250-01":{"a":1184,"b":268,"c":40,"d":10,"f":36,"s":0,"u":0,"i":0,"w":202,"v":0,"total":1740}.

The grade data mixes results from OMS sections with on-campus sections, which could lead to incorrect expectations among OMS students using the tool. As a specific example, in Fall 2014, CS-6505A (on campus) saw 44/76 A's, while CS-6505-O01 (OMS) saw 49/137 A's (adjusted for withdrawals); the dataset used in this tool shows a total of 93 A's from Fall '14. Mixing data with a higher pass rate from the resident section with the results of the OMS section inflates expectations among future OMS students.
