COURSE REPORT (CR)

A separate Course Report (CR) should be submitted for every course and for each section or campus
location where the course is taught, even if the course is taught by the same person. Each CR is to be
completed by the course instructor at the end of each course and given to the program coordinator
A combined, comprehensive CR should be prepared by the course coordinator and the separate
location reports are to be attached.
