Measurement Methodologies. Calibration. All sound level measuring devices must, at a minimum, be externally field- calibrated before and after monitoring using a calibration device of known frequency and sound pressure level. Measurements must be made at least three feet off the ground or surface and away from natural or artificial structures, which would prevent an accurate measurement. Measurements must be made using the A-weighting and fast response characteristics of the sound measuring device as specified in American National Standards Institute S1.4- 1983. Measurements must not be made in sustained winds or in precipitation that results in a difference of less than ten decibels between the background noise level and the noise source being measured. Measurements must be made using a microphone that is protected from ambient conditions that would prevent an accurate measurement.
Measurement Methodologies. The Ministry is committed to working with institutions and the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario to develop a system measure that will track the participation of under-represented students (Aboriginal, First Generation and Students with Disabilities) in a manner that is sensitive to privacy concerns. To inform this process, please provide any measurement methodologies Algoma currently uses to track the participation of these students, and in particular, any measures to find and track those who are the first in their family to attend postsecondary education (including “at risk” and low income students): By spring 2010, Algoma University will have a fully implemented, new student information system. This new system will enable tracking of student data from first point of contact through to alumni. Currently, there are multiple systems: (1) for recruitment and admissions; (2) for registration; (3) for student accounts; (4) residence; (5) athletics; (6) students with disabilities; and (7) alumni. The new system will be fully integrated and cross referential allowing for easier, more comprehensive collection of student data. Through our existing systems, we do track the following: ▪ Students with disabilities (tracked and maintained in a separate, confidential system) ▪ Anishinaabe (Aboriginal) students (self-identified or through sponsorship) ▪ First Generation – currently only through surveys, but with plans to integrate this into the registration data collection for fall 2009. The Ministry is seeking information with respect to the number of students who are self-identifying as under-represented pursuant to the methodologies currently in place to measure these students at Algoma. Please provide the total number of students who have self-identified as a member of each of these groups. The ministry recognizes that these measurement methodologies may require students to self-identify, which may result in under-reporting. Individual students may belong to more than one group. In the cells counting respondents for each under-represented group, do not adjust for this potential double-counting. To the extent that you are able to do so, eliminate any double-counting in the column, “Total Number Self-Identifying as Member of Under-represented Group”.
