BANNER 9 Faculty Grade Entry and more
|
|
BANNER 9 Faculty Grade Entry is a newly implemented grading interface that provides a user-friendly experience for both full-time faculty and adjunct instructors. The module allows instructors to enter grades directly or import grades from a spreadsheet template.
The use of this module for grade entry is mandatory for Fall 2019 (this semester). Training sessions for this module are scheduled throughout the week. Be sure to accept one of the Outlook meeting invites for training that has been emailed to you.
More BANNER 9 tools have been launched this fall including the Faculty Class Listing, giving faculty the ability to print course rosters; the Student Advising Profile, which will be available for students in October; and the Student Advisee Listing, providing faculty with links to student profiles and allowing them to email advisees. Student Planner training will be offered in early October.
For additional information on BANNER 9 features and training, contact Dara Fann at

Betul Kudurogianis
Mathematics Instructor, NCC
|
|
|
|
Besides an associate degree, Betul Kudurogianis learned the English language at New River CTC where she found the opportunity to have a secondary education. She graduated from Ninth September University School of Law, and worked about 15 years as a lawyer in Izmir, Turkey, where she was born and lived until she came to the USA and started her new journey.
After graduation from New River CTC, Betul received a bachelor's degree in math education (5-Adult) from Glenville State College and went on to earn a master's degree in math from Western Governors University.
Betul taught math to grades 7th-12th at Nicholas County and Fayetteville High Schools. She also has worked at New River CTC as an adjunct instructor.
Today, she is very happy to be a member of the New River CTC family and work with the professors at the Nicholas County Campus; this was her dream from the beginning of her education in the USA.
Welcome, Betul!
