FY10 Q2
Steve Winig's email note regarding the Metrics contribution that was submitted by Rob Smyser.
Certainly in my area, both comparisons are relevant and potentially provide different information.
Out of curiosity, what happened to the metrics graphs from earlier reports. I felt that the graphs conveyed a lot of information in a relatively small amount of space. In fact, AUX has been talking with Rob about not only creating some graphs for our operational work but also annotating peaks and valleys in the graph to provide additional information without using any more real estate.
Based on some of the examples in the report, which are very operationally focused, I'm wondering if Accessibility should be included as a service. Additionally, does it make sense to include ATIC accomplishments under Athena (since ATIC is the Athena lab for students with disabilities)?

Hi all-
I had a discussion yesterday with Rob re: the metrics tables and analysis and would like your take on this idea.
Marilyn wants a comparison of this Q to last FY same quarter. However, there are also interesting and important trends Q to Q in the same FY. Some of these are already being pointed out in the analysis, at least in the DS one. This is a bit confusing since the % change column relates to the comparison to the same Q last FY and not last Q.
I would like to propose adding another column for % change from last Q. This will allow us to talk about and show trends compared to last FY and from Q to Q over the same FY without confusing the readers.
Thoughts?
– Chris
