A financial report, such as the Gift Detail & Summary report or Constituent Giving History report, run in the Raiser's Edge Database View does not match the Analyze Overview Revenue field in the Raiser's Edge NXT Web View. How can I get those to match?
My reports in the Database View and Web View don't match. How can I get Web View and Database View to match?
Remove any query being used and set to all records (as the NXT Web View Analyze looks at the entire database).
Mark all the includes (deceased, no valid address, inactive) on the General tab.
Set soft credit to Donor and matching gift to Company on the General tab.
Ensure that any selected Funds, Appeals, and/or Campaigns match settings in the report. (Note: If using Category values in the Web View, use Query Filters).
Ensure that selected gift types in the report match the selected Revenue Type in the Web View. Review the settings under Control Panel > Settings for the types and note any additional gift types selected.
Ensure any additional gift types for Committed revenue are added to the report as specified in the Web View Control Panel (Gift-in-kind, Other, Recurring gift pay-cash, MG Pledge, Planned Gift, Stock/Property, Stock/Property (Sold)).
Remove any pledge Pay-Cash types and Recurring Gift.
Unmark Use gift balance instead of gift amount.
If using Stock/Property (sold) type, Mark both Use sale amount for sold stock/property and Subtract broker fee from sold stock/property.
Ensure any additional gift types for Received revenue are added to the report as specified in the Web View Control Panel (Gift-in-kind, Other, Stock/Property, Stock/Property (Sold)).
Remove Pledge, MG Pledge, Planned Gift, and Recurring Gift.
Ensure no filters are set here. The Web View does not filter on these fields in Analyze.
If present, review the final step regarding if no address is found. Ensure it's set to Print with no address.
In the Web View at Fundraising > Analyze > Overview, click on the Revenue figure.
A list of gifts will fly in from the right. Click Create List in the upper right.
In Gifts Lists, select Save as > In database view as a static query.
Return to Database View report.
On the General tab, mark the option to create an Output query. Set Gift as the type.
Still in the Database View, go to Query.
If counts are different, then merge the queries using the SUB operator. to find gifts appearing in one view and not the other. To find gifts that the Web View may not be seeing from the Database View not in the Web View, set Primary query to the Database View one and Secondary to the Web View one.
Add output fields to the resulting query from the merge to review details.
UK ONLY: in Database View check the "Display all tax claim eligible" option in Tools > User Options > Reports > Gift Preferences to see if set to Net or Gross. Then in Web View go to Control Panel > Settings > Giving Analysis > Gift Aid. The Tax claim amount should be included if the Database View option is set to Gross, but should not be included if the Database View option is set to Net.
Narrow the report filters to specific funds, appeals, and/or campaigns.


And then as December opened it was an early Christmas present for Rowe's many fans among the Kings' fraternity as the announcement came that the Weymouth-born teenager was to be lining up for a third season running for Kent in the National League.
"I am so happy to be back at one of the best clubs in the National League, the Kent Kings. I can't wait for another awesome year. Big thanks go to Len Silver and team boss Chris Hunt for having me back and all the fans for putting up with me for another year!".

Since we're knee deep in the NBA Finals, Stanley Cup Finals, Major League Baseball and the U.S Open, I was thinking about which sporting moment would I love to participate in the most. Then I thought, I may as well ask you: which of the following sport moments would be THE moment you'd love to participate in?

The water discharged after the usage in industrial process is called effluent. Depending upon the process requirement, the characteristics of effluent will vary.
Aqua Designs Effluent Treatment plants are available to treat effluents generated from various types of industries. We produce treated water within prescribed standards that can be disposed either in the land for irrigation or for suitable reuse.
Advanced activated sludge plus technology for >90% COD and >95% color removal in effluents of all types of paper process plants.
Depending upon the effluent parameters and desired limit of treated effluent quality required by the customer, the degree of the treatment is carefully selected. However, any effluent is to be treated, discharged or re-used shall be defined in three stages of treatment-Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. Further to these stages, Sludge/waste handling, final polishing, post-treatment, etc are to be introduced to have effluent to the desirable quality.

The aim of good journalism is to utilize the First Amendment to create an informed public – whether that is by digging into situations, exploring culture or talking to people.
Though I believe in few restrictions as to what can be said, there are limits on ethical reporting. There's also occasionally the right way and the wrong way to say something and the right way and the wrong way to prove a point.
State the facts: that's the basic tenant of journalism.
State all of the facts: that's the basic tenant of good journalism.
When meeting with the editor at Colorado Community Media, Ann Healey, she told me that a good story answers any questions a reader could possibly have. Now, aside from ensuring my own stories meet that standard, I work to make sure everyone else's do as well.
Right before winter break last year, two female students at Mountain Vista were apprehended on charges including conspiracy to murder. Two staff members at the time, Savanah Howard and Lauren Lippert, were eager to write about it.
The story, originally titled "Tragedy in MVHS," quickly underwent massive additions and changes before being published.
Below is the first copy Lauren and Savanah approached me with.
Aside from some obvious edits, I also advised the girls to link in the live coverage from The Denver Post, address the sergeant by name, add something from the principal, include the entire district and search out more student responses while also providing them with emails, links and contact information that they could use. All of additions were put into place to provide more clarity and depth to the story so the audience wouldn't feel clueless about such a prominent event. We also changed the name to "Threats Surface to MVHS" to prevent any misconception.
Below is the finish piece that was published on Vista Now. The story may also be accessed by clicking here.
Savanah and Lauren also did a great job piecing together multiple interviews for followup stories and took initiative on writing about Text-A-Tip for the next issue of our newsmagazine.
Two days before winter break, everyone at Vista was made aware of threats made by two 16-year-old students to commit acts of violence against students and faculty. Soon after, Sienna Johnson was taken into custody and tried as an adult for conspiring to commit first-degree murder.
The senior editors were responsible for deciding whether or not to include the two students in the yearbook.
When we first convened, everyone except for myself and my co-editor-in-chief Kelsey Pharis wanted to run the names. After talking it through, we decided to ask for advice from Arapahoe High School.
Arapahoe had left Karl Pierson, who had shot and killed Claire Davis before taking his own life, in the yearbook. They felt that it was their duty as journalists to allow the portrait pages to serve as a public record for the school.
With that in mind, I could see both sides of the argument: Both Brooke Higgins and Sienna Johnson, at one point, were students at Mountain Vista. But at the same time, they're now brought up on adult charges and face no possibility of setting foot in Mountain Vista ever again.
We decided to talk to our principal, Michael Weaver, about the matter. He claimed that he didn't want our yearbook to serve as a record book that people look back on to remember all of the terrible, awful things a few students tried to do because it distracted from the upstanding accomplishments other students at Mountain Vista had made.
Considering all of the knowledge we had obtained, the editors decided unanimously to take both Higgins and Johnson out of the portrait section yearbook. We decided to still value the honesty of the history by placing their trial in the chronological section of the yearbook, but didn't grant the story a face.
It's easy to catch yourself editing a photo unethically to make it better than it truly is.
As a photojournalist myself, the editing work I do to my photos has developed a lot over time.
Starting out, I wasn't too great at working a camera because I had never been taught how to. Though I've now been to a lot of professional lectures and learned a lot from other editors and staff members, the majority of what I now know how to do was self taught.
Because I now can actually take good photos the first time around, I find myself doing minimal editing.
Clone in or out an object or background.
Draw directly onto a photo or fill in loose space.
Blur or correct the focus.
Adjust anything other than image mode, brightness or manual levels.
For most photos I take, I only rarely adjust the crop and occasionally the brightness.


Never bend over to pickup hulls again!
MOJO® has developed the most convenient easy way to pick up empty shotgun hulls in the field, utilizing a specially designed magnet mounted into an easy to use, adjustable "staff". Will pick up as many as 25 hulls at a time. Easily raked off into a bag, bucket, etc. Light weight and handy, adjust from 32 ½" to 55 ½". Comfortable and convenient handle. Never bend over to pickup hulls again. Works in water or on dry land.
MOJO Pick Stick - Never Sacrifice Your Back Again!
I just wanted to jot down a few lines to tell you about how much me and my buddies love the Mojo Pick Sticks. I first saw them in use on the show where you were shooting pigeons and knew right off that I had to have some for duck hunting. I hunt over flooded rice from a buried, metal, 4 man blind and for years have been using an extended handled "grabber" to retrieve the hulls within reach of my blind. It was a major pain in the rear using that thing and plenty of frustration went along with it. Anyway I saw your tool and thought what a great Christmas present for my hunting buddies it would be, so I bought 6 of them! Our waterfowl season opens in late October, so I just went ahead and gave them their Xmas presents a little early. They were a big hit, and with that strong magnet we are able to retrieve sh*l*s way beyond what the reach of the grabber was. So then several of those buddies purchased some for their other circle of friends for Christmas, too. Of course they'll see plenty of use, come September, in the upcoming dove season and the water fowl seasons to come.
Just used it for Dove Opener, picked up about 100 hulls all over the field and just knocked them in the trash when done, seriously couldn't be easier!

Rosacea likely underdiagnosed, suboptimally treated in skin of color
Publish date: October 8, 2018
Andrew D. Bowser
FROM THE JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY
Rosacea in skin of color is likely underdetected and suboptimally managed due to misperceptions that the condition is rare in this population, according to the authors of a clinical review article on the topic.
Dr. Andrew Alexis
"Current reports of rosacea in patients with skin of color may point to a large pool of undiagnosed patients," said Andrew F. Alexis, MD, chairman of the department of dermatology, Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai West, New York, and his coauthors.
Increased awareness of rosacea in these patients may reduce disparities in disease management, they wrote in the review, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, which outlines strategies for timely diagnosis and effective treatment of rosacea in skin of color.
The erroneous perception that rosacea does not occur in skin of color may arise from epidemiologic reports, which frequently position it as a disease that occurs in fair-skinned individuals of Northern European or Celtic background, they said.
The reported prevalence of rosacea in skin of color varies worldwide and is as high as 10%, according to the authors. Moreover, a recent U.S. medical care survey found that 3.9% of rosacea patients were Hispanic or Latino, 2.3% were Asian or Pacific Islander, and 2% were black.
Jerry Tan, MD, University of Western Ontario/National Rosacea Society
Rosacea: A Latina woman with inflammatory rhinophyma
A low index of suspicion for rosacea in skin of color may lead to delayed diagnosis, and consequently, advanced disease that could include disfigurement with disease progression (such as rhinophyma and otophyma) and, in the case of ocular disease, loss of sight, Dr. Alexis and his coauthors pointed out.
One clinical aspect of rosacea in skin of color is that persistent facial erythema is less frequently reported than are papules and pustules. That may be due to the difficulty of visualizing erythema in darker skin, they suggested, noting that the postinflammatory hyperpigmentation that is more common in skin of color could also mask erythema.
A rosacea variant seen more often in these patients is the granulomatous subtype, which may not present with flushing, persistent erythema, or other typical rosacea signs, they pointed out.
Rosacea: Latina woman with inflammatory rhinophyma
One key to accurately diagnosing rosacea in skin of color is the patient's own observations, such as whether they experience flushing or a warm sensation in the face, according to the authors, who said patients may report stinging or burning with certain skin care products.
Dr. Alexis and his coauthors said they have tried various strategies to assess dark skin for erythema and telangiectasia. Photographing subjects on a dark-blue background may better highlight any redness, they said, while using a dermatoscope may help differentiate skin pigment from blood vessels.
A magnifying glass or microscope slide can be used to test skin for blanching: "If the skin pales when pressed under the glass or slide, erythema is present," they wrote.
Ncoza Dlova, MD, chief specialist and head of the department of dermatology, Nelson R. Mandela School of Medicine, Durban, South Africa/National Rosacea Society
Rosacea with phymatous changes in an African woman
Although data on treatment of rosacea in skin of color is limited, the general treatment approach is similar to that of lighter skin and may include topical and oral therapies, laser or light-based treatment, or surgery. "Patients with skin of color may have unique clinical features that need to be addressed during the treatment of rosacea, such as postinflammatory pigment alteration or risk of developing this complication with laser/light-based therapies," they noted.
In the review, they referred to a few studies of oral or topical treatments that suggest similar benefits in Fitzpatrick skin phototypes I-III (lighter) and IV-VI (darker) that the authors describe in their review.
Allergan sponsored development of the paper, which was developed with editorial assistance from Peloton Advantage. Dr. Alexis and his coauthors provided disclosures related to Allergan, BioPharmx, Galderma, Bayer, Beiersdorf, Croma-Pharma, Aclaris, and Unilever.

Evaluate your business goals and your existing IT environment at the beginning of your cloud journey.
You've considered the merits of cloud computing. You've made digital transformation part of your business strategy. And now you're thinking about moving your on-premises servers and applications to the cloud. What's next? It's time for a comprehensive cloud readiness assessment to examine your business priorities and your technical infrastructure.
A cloud readiness assessment is an intensive evaluation of an organisation's existing IT system that is designed to identify cloud-suitable and cloud-unsuitable resources. The assessment is usually conducted by cloud professionals in partnership with senior members of the organisation's managerial and technical teams.
Businesses typically look to the cloud to reduce costs, increase operational efficiency, or improve security – but there's often a specific trigger behind the actual decision to migrate.
Pressing capacity needs, compliance concerns, and expiring data-centre contracts are some of the common catalysts. At present, the looming end-of-support dates for Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2, as well as SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2, are prompting many companies to embrace cloud technology.
Cloud consultants aim to uncover the business's main priorities so they can determine which cloud solutions are the most appropriate. Their goal is to facilitate a seamless migration process, but that's only possible when they have a complete picture of what the business is hoping to achieve by moving to the cloud.
Depending on its size, the business may run hundreds or thousands of applications across a variety of servers. How are these applications structured? Can they be modified for the cloud? What technologies are being used? How are they organised?
Consultants need to create a thorough catalogue of the business's on-premises applications and servers, with explicit particulars about architecture, communication, and dependencies. This inventory is especially important for determining whether applications should be rehosted, refactored, rebuilt, or replaced in the cloud.
It's also vital for cloud specialists to understand how the business's resources are currently being used. What's the status quo, in terms of app volume and usage? What are the system requirements during normal operating conditions? And during peak periods?
Cloud consultants must have a clear idea of the resources that exist in the business's present environment, what they're being used for, and where they belong in the system, so that migration teams can create appropriate guidelines for moving servers and application stacks.
How does the business handle data? Where is data processed and stored? What data-specific industry rules and compliance regulations apply to the business? Consultants have to explore these questions with relevant stakeholders during the cloud readiness assessment.
Data privacy and data security are core concerns for all South African businesses that manage sensitive in-house material and confidential customer information. Foreign decrees like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation have the potential to affect local entities. And SA laws, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, dictate the relationship between businesses and consumers. Legal obligations and compliance considerations must be reviewed during the readiness assessment.

Q: Is it possible to define "interface" that will accept class instance which type/implementation is not known ahead? I am new to dart. In typescript I could do something like this:
// business-logic.ts

interface Item { name: string; }

interface Repository {
  addItem: (item: Item) => Promise<void>;
}

export class BusinessLogic {
  private repo: Repository;

  constructor(repo: Repository) {
    this.repo = repo;
  }

  async doSomething() {
    await this.repo.addItem({ name: 'apple' });
  }
}

// repo.ts

export class Repository {
  async addItem(item: { name: string }) { /* impl */ }
}

// runtime.ts
import { BusinessLogic } from './business-logic';
import { Repository } from './repo';

const logic = new BusinessLogic(new Repo());

So business logic can explicitly define what it needs and then actual implementation of those dependencies can be done without interchanging any types (type files).
I something like this possible in dart? Or the only option is to define abstract class Repository in business logic and then import this abstract class in repository file and make Repository class extend it?

A: JavaScript being a dynamically typed language and TypeScript merely being a development-level superset of that, TypeScript interfaces aren't (and can't be) hard contracts. They are merely a scaffold for normal JavaScript objects to conform to that throw compile-time (but not runtime) errors if they fail to adhere to the definition.
Dart, on the other hand, is a strongly-typed language, so interfaces are bound to class definitions instead of arbitrary objects and with iron-clad contracts. As such, you will need to explicitly define classes that implement the interfaces before you can use them.
// business_logic.dart

abstract class IItem {
  String item;
}

abstract class IRepository {
  Future<void> addItem(IItem item);
}

class BusinessLogic {
  Repository _repo;

  BusinessLogic(this._repo);

  void doSomething() async {}
}

Here you define the interfaces as well as the BusinessLogic class. Note that Dart just uses abstract classes for this purpose, so the convention is to start the class name with "I" to differentiate interfaces from base classes. Apart from that, the only other differences are largely syntactic.
// repo.dart

class Item implements IItem {
  String item;
}

class Repository implements IRepository {
  Future<void> addItem(IItem item) async {
    /* impl */
  }
}

Here the classes get defined that implement the interfaces. Once again, the differences here are largely syntactic with the exception that Item must be explicitly defined and it must implement IItem.
(One tangential thing to note is that, in your TypeScript code, your Repository class doesn't actually reference the Repository or Item interface but instead defines a structure and an inline type restriction that just so happens to be compatible with them. While this wouldn't likely result in runtime bugs, these are typos that would need to be fixed if this were production code. Incidentally, if TypeScript were strongly-typed like Dart, this typo would be an error instead.)
// runtime.dart

import './business_logic' show BusinessLogic;
import './repo' show Repository;

final logic = BusinessLogic(Repository());

The only differences here are syntactic. Note that the show syntax is merely to match the selective imports from the TypeScript and isn't actually necessary.

Q: Get soft keyboard's height without ViewTreeObserver I am currently getting the height of the soft keyboard by using the ViewTreeObserver like:
private final ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener   mKeyboardLayoutListener = new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
    @Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {
        final int heightDiff = mRootLayout.getRootView().getHeight() - mRootLayout.getHeight();

        if(heightDiff > mStatusBarHeight && mLastHeightDiff != heightDiff){
            mSoftKeyboardHeight = heightDiff;
        }
        mLastHeightDiff = heightDiff;
    }
};

But now I need to get the soft keyboard's height before showing it, as we need another view to have the exact same height than the soft keyboard. How could I do that?
Thanks in advance


The UK anaerobic digestion (AD) industry has today welcomed the publication of the government's Industrial Strategy White Paper, with the Anaerobic Digestion & Bioresources Association (ADBA) saying that AD can play a 'key role' in enhancing British industrial capacity.
Agri-tech and the circular economy are key tenets of the White Paper, with AD playing an important role in both sectors through supporting sustainable agriculture and organic resource recovery.
As part of this, the government has pledged to create a new Bioeconomy Strategy, which will "set out a framework for growth in the sector to develop new low carbon bio-based products and processes".
The White Paper also describes 'the move to cleaner economic growth – through low carbon technologies and the efficient use of resources' as one of the four 'Grand Challenges' for the future. AD is part of both the low-carbon and resource-efficiency economies so is ideally placed to deliver on this Grand Challenge.
"There are a lot of encouraging messages in this White Paper, and with the right support, the UK AD industry can play a key role in helping to meet the goals of the Industrial Strategy.
"In terms of sustainable agriculture, AD is vital to transforming food production so that we can 'produce more from less' whilst reducing emissions, pollution, waste, and soil erosion across the UK. Not only does AD offer a treatment option for organic agricultural wastes, it also produces renewable energy and transport fuel, reduces farm emissions, and helps restore soils through the production of nutrient-rich biofertiliser.
"We're encouraged to hear that the government will increase incentives for investment in sustainable agriculture to help grow markets for innovative technologies and techniques. AD is clearly one such technology, so we look forward to further details on this support.
"The government is also right to highlight the benefits of moving towards a more circular economy in which resources are used more efficiently, and a dedicated Bioeconomy Strategy is an important step forward in this regard. As the only recycling option for organic wastes, AD can reduce emissions from waste and turn these wastes into the resources that the UK economy desperately needs.
AD's role in the Industrial Strategy will be a key theme of the ADBA National Conference 2017, taking place next Thursday (7th December) at One Great George Street in London.

What to Expect at CAC's April Board Meeting: Grant Guidelines, Support for Artists & More
12. April 2017 Staff In The News
Cuyahoga Arts & Culture's Board of Trustees will meet April 17, 2017, 4:00 pm at Ensemble Theatre. The major focus of the meeting will be the Board discussion and action on the 2018-19 General Operating Support and 2018 Project Support guidelines. View the agenda and handout materials for this meeting.
CAC continues its work to develop approaches that will provide meaningful support for individual artists. Updates will be offered at the meeting, but as planned, the issue does not appear on the April 2017 agenda and the Board will take no action. CAC staff is working toward having a proposal, grounded in key elements affirmed by the Board in December 2016, for Board approval in September 2017. Because the issue does not appear on the agenda, public comment about support for artists will be welcome at the end of the regular business meeting in line with our public comment policy.
Here are four things you can expect at Monday's meeting:
Conversation & Action on Guidelines for 2018 Project Support and 2018-19 General Operating Support. CAC will seek Board approval on a few changes: minor updates to definitions for funding criteria; simplified Project Support II eligibility check and application processes, to reduce barriers to funding; and updates to the Project Support I maximum request amount formula (from 20% of past year's arts/cultural expenses in 2017 to 15% in 2018) and maximum grant amount (from $35,000 in 2017 to $30,000 in 2018), to continue to provide meaningful grants through this growing grant program.
Also of note, CAC will seek Board approval on exempting eligible General Operating Support organizations from CAC's application and public panel process for GOS funding in 2018-19. This change is in response to years of cultural partner feedback. CAC staff sought input from more than 200 individuals and made follow-up calls to all 58 organizations in the current cohort. 95% percent of survey respondents were in favor of the new approach (panel exemption, with the option for any group to opt-in to a panel that will be held for new applicants in October 2017).
An Update on Individual Artist Support. Since our last Board meeting, CAC staff have worked toward:
- Assembling a planning team of local community leaders/artists who will work over the next five months to propose new approaches for artist support for CAC in 2017 and beyond. The group will be composed primarily of artists, and CAC is committed to making sure the process is inclusive. We anticipate that this group will host several large, open-to-the-public artist gatherings to create a space to learn what's on artists' minds and what types of support would be meaningful and help them work in their communities.
- Continuing to learn from other public agencies. CAC is working with Americans for the Arts (AFTA) to update existing CAC research to benchmark how other public agencies across the country fund and support individual artists. The community planning team will consider this information when making their recommendations.
- Implementing a new approach to supporting artists. As part of CAC's Arts & Culture in the Square opportunity, artists could apply for up to $5,000 to carry out projects in Public Square. We received submissions from 25 artists, and with the help of a local review committee, will determine funding amounts in the coming weeks. This does not replace the need for CAC to provide flexible funds to artists.
Research to Help Cultural Partners. CAC staff will seek approval to engage TRIAD Research for a statistically significant telephone survey of Cuyahoga County residents to assess awareness of Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, resident participation in arts and cultural activities, barriers to attendance, and perceptions and satisfaction relating to countywide arts and cultural programming. Cultural partners can use the findings to help guide their work.
Honoring Trustee Steve Minter. Steve has generously given 10 years of service to the CAC Board and was elected its first president at CAC's first Board meeting in April 2007. His term ends this year. Please join us for a reception in his honor following the Board meeting.
Please contact us at info@cacgrants.org or 216-515-8303 with any questions or ideas, or to set up a meeting with CAC staff. We hope to see you at Monday's meeting.

How are universities protecting degree standards?
Last updated on Thursday 19 Jan 2023 at 10:54am
Why has there been an increase in firsts and 2:1s?
How has the sector responded?
What progress has been made?
Achieving a degree reflects years of hard work, resilience, and dedication. However, since the early 2000s, a steady increase in the proportion of first and 2:1 awards has risked undermining the value of a degree, with concerns about potential grade inflation. Since 2019, universities have been working to make sure all students can take pride in their achievements.
Download this briefing as a pdf.
Some of the increases in firsts and 2:1s reflect genuine student improvements and better teaching methods and assessment. It would be wrong to artificially cap results. But where providers can't easily explain the increases, they should look at their data and policies to understand and then – if necessary – reduce the trend.
We can't ignore the increase from 61% to 82% in upper awards between 2006–07 and 2019–20. The trend has not all been upwards though. In 2018–19 the proportion of upper awards began to level off at 76%, with no increase from the previous year.
Making a commitment
In 2019, the UK Standing Committee for Quality Assessment (UKSCQA) published a statement of intent to protect confidence in the value of degrees. UKSCQA provides sector-led oversight of higher education quality assessment arrangements by bringing together partners from across the UK.
Under UKSCQA, work began to:
understand student outcomes data
describe the classification system
improve how providers calculate degrees
support external scrutiny
Workshops to support universities
Since 2019, we have worked closely with the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) to deliver workshops across the sector. The workshops have helped to put the commitments of the statement of intent in place. Since 2020, QAA has delivered 19 workshops reaching 777 attendees. This high level of engagement shows the importance being placed on this work.
We carried out a progress review in 2020 and even in just one year, significant activity had happened across the sector. As we begin 2022, 47% of providers believe they are in a stronger place to protect degree standards than in 2019. However, a further 47% see themselves in a similar position to 2019, suggesting there is more to do to support this work and understand and tackle unexplained grade inflation.
How has Covid-19 affected progress?
Covid-19 disrupted the progress universities were making and in 2019–20 we saw a leap of 6 percentage points in first and 2:1 awards. Many providers changed their teaching, learning and assessment and introduced safety net policies to respond to the needs of their students. The changes recognised students' level of achievement before the pandemic and accounted for the last-minute disruption to their learning.
Our findings on degree classifications in 2019–20 show that while the pandemic tested the resilience of degree standards, providers met this challenge by putting in place strong rules to protect standards.
However, the pandemic's impact will be felt by future students who have studied under exceptional circumstances and universities will continue to monitor this.
Our survey
We ran a survey and heard from 44 providers. We found out what actions they are taking and the progress they are making across UKSCQA's four commitments.
We found that the key developments the sector has made across the four commitments are:
Universities in England and Wales now publish degree outcome statements that are publicly available.
Universities are reviewing their degree algorithms using the new UKSCQA principles.
There are shared degree classification descriptors for the sector, helping to provide students with a clear summary of the standard to reach for each classification (eg 2:1, first).
Under the direction of UUK and Guild HE, QAA is currently working to strengthen the external examining system.
Continue reading for a more detailed summary.
1. Publishing degree outcome statements
Providers in England and Wales now publish degree outcome statements. The short documents follow internal reviews within each provider. 113 degree outcomes statements have been published since 2019, which is a major injection of evidence into the sector.
What do the statements do?
The statements:
review trends over several years
bring together all the tools providers use to protect degree standards – such as the latest data and policies
outline activities identified by providers on what more they can do
must have approval from the provider's governance board, giving scrutiny at the highest level
are publicly available so universities are transparent about their practices
What actions are in the statements?
While not required, 81% of recently surveyed providers set actions in their statements. Most commonly to:
Review their degree algorithm design against the newly published principles. For example, providers have looked at the rules around the grade borderlines, reduced the use of multiple algorithms and limited discounting (ignoring lower grades). Providers have also taken steps to explain how the algorithm works through student-centred resources such as online calculators.
Analyse demographics or subject areas. This is to better understand differences in degree outcomes. From this, the statements have prompted conversations within departments on assessment design.
Look at the impact of Covid-19. For example, looking at the impact of temporary policies and capture lessons from the pandemic, such as the closing of awarding gaps.
Expand the responsibility of external examiners to comment on degree standards over time. We are also seeing more providers appoint chief or principal external examiners to oversee standards across the whole institution.
We have asked providers to update their statements annually with the latest data and progress on actions. From the providers we spoke to, 95% will update their statements in 2022 to reflect outcomes in the 2020–21 academic year.
We are committed to working with GuildHE and QAA to continue to receive feedback on the usefulness of the statements and any support that will help providers engage with them better.
In Scotland, universities review degree outcomes as part of programme reviews. In addition, QAA Scotland staff meet each Scottish institution annually to discuss quality, standards and education enhancement.
2. Uncovering how providers calculate degree results
Since 2020 'algorithm' has become a watchword for students and those working in education. A degree algorithm in higher education refers to a set of rules which bring together the marks of a student into a degree result. Creating an algorithm requires careful consideration and should have a rationale based on assessment expertise.
Research from 2017 and 2020 showed the wide range of algorithm practice across institutions, which raised questions about the comparability of qualifications. To help with consistency UKSCQA published the first-ever UK-wide set of principles for effective degree algorithm design in July 2020. Our survey of providers suggests 84% of the sector have or will engage with the principles as they review their practices.
What do the principles do?
The principles hold providers to a strong set of obligations that make sure a student's grade is a reliable summary of their performance. The principles have helped produce algorithms that are consistent, transparent and reliable.
What are providers doing?
We are seeing action to:
Look at the combined impact of an algorithm. This is to ensure parts do not overly reinforce each other. For example, this could happen where the final level of a student's study is accounted for multiple times by weighting more heavily on the final year, discounting marks from previous years, and uplifting students on the borderline.
Tighten borderline policies to protect boundaries. For example, ensuring that a 2:1 is typically 60–69 or a 2:2 50–59 (in the conventional 0–100 grading approach).
Explain the algorithm to students. This has proved valuable where the design of algorithms differs across different subject areas.
The pandemic has meant many universities had to put their algorithm reviews on hold. This is because emergency changes needed to be introduced. We understand that plans are now back on track and expect more action on this in the future.
3. Building a shared understanding of classifications
When is a first a first or a 2:2 a 2:2? Assessing academic work should always fall to the judgement of academic experts. However, to help, UKSCQA has published degree classification descriptors. The descriptors give students, for the first time, a clear summary of what each classification means. For example, it describes what level of 'knowledge and understanding' or 'practical skills' is needed for a 2:1, and how this differs from a 2:2.
How do the descriptors work?
The descriptors work alongside other frameworks such as FHEQ, FQHEIS and subject benchmark statements. Their status as a sector-owned reference point is important. They are not a strict formula – this would stifle the freedom of providers to innovate their assessment practice. Instead, they should be seen as a guide to help with transparency and consistency.
Feedback suggests that 80% of institutions are using or will use the standards. We are seeing the descriptors used in the following ways:
To help existing institution-level or subject-level descriptors align more with the sector ones.
Support training and development for academics and external examiners. This enables the descriptors to support consistent marking judgements and exam committees.
Embed the descriptors from the course approval stage through to assessment design, marking practice and to the student receiving their result.
For providers in England, the Office for Students (OfS) has consulted on making the descriptors a sector-recognised standard. It intends to use them to challenge providers where they have concerns about degree standards. Their status as a reference point needs to be protected, but going forward, they will be a useful addition to how quality and standards are protected in England.
4. Improving external scrutiny
Independent scrutiny is a cornerstone of protecting degree standards. The external examiner system carries out this function, but our research suggests more can be done. Multiple reviews of the external examiner system over the years haven't brought about the changes needed for it to be as effective as it could be.
How can external examiners help protect standards?
We need a strong external examiner system that can support providers to make further changes to learning in the post-pandemic environment. The external examiner system must empower examiners to call out any concerns they have about degree standards.
We are seeing providers expand the role of external examiners. This includes taking on responsibilities related to degree standards, approving degree outcomes statements and examining data in more detail.
In August 2021, along with GuildHE, we asked QAA to launch work to strengthen the external examining system. QAA have formed an advisory group and kick-started a series of engagements with the sector. From this, they will develop a series of principles which will build a shared understanding of the external examiner role.
Within this work, we also want to consider where external examiners have a role in addressing the challenges of grade inflation.
Since 2019, there has been a step change in how we think about degree standards. However, the nature of these changes means it will take time to see results – especially because the pandemic has temporarily disrupted progress.
This is a long term effort, but providers are acting now to build confidence in the system. We will continue to monitor progress and provide further guidance and support to the sector where needed.
In our first progress review, we set out what else the sector can do in the future, such as:
enhancing internal quality assurance processes;
empowering governing bodies to act on standards;
engaging with league table compilers on the use of a 'good degrees' metric;
and developing guidance on quality and standards within teaching partnerships, all while continuing to raise the statement of intent's profile within and beyond the sector.
Here's a collection of case studies from providers on what work they have been doing to protect degree standards.
Arts University Bournemouth (AUB)
AUB reviewed its degree algorithm against the principles and examined the data to ensure changes didn't disadvantage particular groups. It noted some areas where its approach didn't align, and made minor changes which would meet the principles without undermining the intention of their algorithm. The new algorithm will be brought in for students enrolling in 2022.
As a young university, Hartpury University chose to publish a degree outcomes statement as part of its ongoing work to ensure awards reflect industry and professional standards and expectations. The university monitors achievement annually, at programme and department level, through an achievement report and a quality report through its committee and governance structure. It makes evidence-informed decisions about how to amend and enforce its academic regulations. The statement of intent and connected research has helped the university contextualise its practice with other providers. This led to more confident decision-making when enacting regulations during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nottingham Trent University (NTU)
Over the last few years, NTU has developed its grade-based assessment framework in three key ways. First, the university has enhanced the rigour of the degree algorithm. A student is awarded a first if they have performed at a first-class standard on the majority of their modules.
Second, different award boards had historically used different variations of the rules on borderline classifications to enable students with profiles at the top of a classification band to achieve a higher classification. There is no longer any exam board discretion to do this.
Third, NTU has shifted to a 'linear' system of numbers that stand in for each grade (0-16, instead of 0-100). In the 0-100 (non-linear) system some students benefit from the inflationary effects of the traditional '70-100' first-class range. This range is used in different ways across the sector and is an important factor in any analysis of grade inflation.
University College of Estate Management (UCEM)
Following the publication of the paper on algorithm principles, UCEM undertook a review of how its practice aligns with each of the principles. The exercise reassured UCEM's quality standards and enhancement committee that its practice aligns with the principles. It also assured UCEM that its choice of algorithm model and approach to discounting and classification at borderline are all appropriate.
The review recommended areas for improvement, including committing to a standard five-yearly cycle of algorithm review and providing a summary within the student handbook of how marks will be used to classify a degree and why this approach is right for UCEM programmes.
There is surprisingly little research on exit velocity in degree algorithms – where the weight is placed on a student's marks later on in their degree. The University of Chichester wanted to understand this more. Previous research shows that of 100 responding institutions, 87 used exit velocity in their algorithm for calculating degree classification. The standard definition is based on a belief that student marks generally improve from year two to year three. Data from 970 students completing in 2019–20 showed that the level 6 mark was, on average, higher by just 2.6% for an individual student. Exit velocity was therefore unlikely to change a student's classification, unless at the boundary. Interestingly, the data showed differences across academic areas, leading us to conclude that further analysis is needed. You can read more about this work on Wonkhe.
In December 2020, following an in-depth review of the degree classifications awarded to its graduates, the University of Exeter published its first degree outcomes statement.
During the 2020–21 academic year, the university also undertook research and analysis to determine the impact on degree outcomes of its no detriment policy brought in during the pandemic. The policy introduced a 'safety net' for individual students by calculating a benchmark based on their assessment and examination grades before the pandemic. The university found that most students did not need to make use of the 'safety net', as they achieved a higher final credit-weighted stage mean. For those that did rely on their benchmark, just 1.4% of UK domiciled final year students saw a change in their degree classification. The policy achieved its aim as students more likely to have been impacted socially and economically by the pandemic benefitted the most.
University of Worcester
The University of Worcester has taken several steps in response to the statement of intent. The university updated its generic grade descriptors to align with the classification descriptors. The descriptors inform a review of local grading criteria. Through this process, the university gained a greater awareness of the demands on academic staff when writing and navigating grade descriptors and recognised that no one size fits all. The university's classification method was mapped against the algorithm principles and it's currently reviewing revisions to the method.
