An Overview

The information you will find here all got here because of my work in evaluating the National Research Council's report on "Doctoral-Research" programs. There are a lot of files to browse through, so I thought it might be helpful to have an overview of how they are organized.

You just came here from my home page to get to:

• This Overview
• Go to the introduction to my critique of the NRC's report
• Go to my page on copyright issues

( See below for all the details, or go back to DWF's home page. . . )

The information on the NRC report is organized like this:

• The Introduction to my critique, which is divided into these three parts:
  • Background, or, how I got interested in this whole mess
  • Some information about my critique of the NRC
  • Other stuff, or, copyright and me
  
  From there, you can get to the actual report:
  • Apparent Anomalies in Reported Data for the Field of Music in the NRC's Report on "Research-Doctorate" Programs
    The report has these two Appendices:
    • HTML 3
      • Appendix A (Faculty Data)
      • Appendix B (Student Data)
    • HTML 2
      • Appendix A (Faculty Data)
      • Appendix B (Student Data)
    
    Besides the Appendices, there are also several documents with supplementary information:
    • My notes on the full NRC report
    • My correspondence with the NRC (abridged)
    
    You can also go from there to these documents on related topics:
    • My ruminations on the significance of these kinds of ratings (includes links to some other WWW info. on the subject.)
    • My ideas for what we in the field of Music might do about ratings like those in the NRC report

The extent of the copyright information I have collected is made clear from my copyright overview:
