Options to View Data
There are many options to view data in VCAT. Data can be viewed not only where you enter the data but, also using the following reports:
• Student Unit Report

• Cohort Unit Report
• Cohort Criterion Report
• Custom Reports
Student Unit Report
In this sample, one group of students is selected with one piece of information. Students are listed in alphabetical order using their last name. This Student Unit Report displays one student per row with one summarized value for the unit. The summarized value is dependent on the weight assigned to the criteria in the unit. If one criterion has all of the weight (100%), then that score will be used as the summary value to give a quick snapshot for that unit. If more criteria share the weight equally distributed (by default), the summarized value will be an average of the weighted criteria. Occasionally, none of the criteria are weighted. When that is the case, no summarized value can be calculated therefore, the Student Unit Report can't be generated. The bottom row highlighted in blue gives you the Mean (average) scores for the group of students you have selected.
