Prerequisites
The only prerequisite for successfully using Analytics is that assessment data has been gathered. However, to maximize the benefits of Analytics, it is helpful to consider some data points and best practices which will greatly enrich its reporting capabilities:

• Multiple terms of data
• Terms include begin and end dates
• Assessments are in place that collect longitudinal data
• Rubric performance levels have point values assigned
• Rubric elements have weights applied
• Standards and outcomes aligned in the rubrics
• Student profile information included, such as ethnicity, major, GPA, test scores
