CEPH request: Digital Measures Syllabi Report

CEPH has requested that the School of Public Health make all course syllabi for the last 3 years available to them. The easy way to do this is to run the Digital Measures Syllabi Report for the entire school. It is already set up and only requires that all faculty members ensure that they have uploaded their course syllabi to the appropriate place in Digital Measures. Many of you already do this as a routine part of preparing your productivity report. We ask all faculty and teaching adjuncts to upload all syllabi from Fall 2017 to Spring 2020. The deadline for submission is February 21, 2020.
