My Courses Comparison Report

This article covers how faculty can use the My Courses Comparison report on the Faculty Student Success Dashboard (FSSD).

What does this report show?

The My Courses Comparison tab allows you to compare data for one or more of your courses. You can compare data within the same term (i.e., if you taught two courses in Fall 2022, you can compare the data for each course) or between two terms (i.e., if you taught in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, you can compare the data for each term).

Accessing the report

1. Log in to the campus portal and access the Faculty Dashboard (FSSD).

2. Click on the My Courses Comparison tab.

Report Overview

By default, you will usually see data for all of your classes/sections for the current semester or the most recent semester when you taught. Sometimes this means that both sides of the comparison are for the same term, so you will need to adjust one of the sides for an effective comparison.
