The Data Analytics for Student Success (DASS) programme generates the "Know Your Course / Students" (KYCS) reports for course convenors at the University of Cape Town (UCT).
The KYCS reports provide course convenors with comprehensive data on specific courses and enroled students, aiming to equip educators with the necessary information to address their students' needs effectively. This approach values each student as having equal potential to succeed and takes responsibility for creating an environment that enables them to thrive.
The KYCS reports provide detailed insights into
- student profiles;
- course achievements; and
- relevant diagnostic data.
The reports include a dedicated section on the "achievement gap", highlighting equity and empowering course convenors to address discrepancies amongst course participants based on multiple factors. Definitions and detailed explanations of the data presented in the report are included in the KYCS Companion Document.
