I didn't have any faculty complain or have any questions about entering "unavailability" but since I cannot see what they have selected at this point, I don't know if they read it correctly and actually entered when they _could_ teach instead of when they can't. Instructors can always add their thoughts on enrollment sizes, number of discussion sections they want, or any other comments about classroom preferences in the text box at the bottom of their teaching preference form.

For me, as long as I can see the quarterly per course totals like we see now in the blue boxes that's sufficient. I can see the need for annual and quarterly totals summing enrollments, but it's not crucial for me at this point. We haven't talked much about the 'reports' that we'll be able to access at some point as well. It makes sense that there will be a report that will show these enrollment summaries. Do you need to see them on the Teaching Preferences screen though, instead of having to run a report?

I think we all need to take some time to think about these two views as we work on our Teaching Assignments right now. Questions we are asking ourselves: Do we want to 'capture' what the faculty teaching preferences were at one point. As we go in and add courses or we want the ability to delete courses, you loose the original 'Teaching Preference' that the instructor submits. Related to this particular comment, I think we need the ability to add an instructor to a course they didn't originally sign up for. In this situation, right now, we are going to the 'Instructor' screen and then adding the course there. Then on the 'course' screen we can select them. However, in doing this, we just lost the 'original' version of the instructor's teaching preferences. Maybe that's fine. Maybe not?? I should add that I'm assuming in this situation, the two 'views' will continue to remain tied in that as you input in one view it updates the other view as well.
