Report Effort/Time

This article provides instructions for reporting effort on an activity. UC OATS calculates time in hours, not days. Faculty members should report up to a maximum of 8 hours for any day spent on a Category I or II activity. For traditional or hybrid in-person instructional formats (e.g., lectures, discussions), 6 contact or "podium" hours with students are equivalent to 1 day.

• 1 Day = 8 Hours
• 1 Day = 6 Podium Hours - traditional or hybrid in-person instructional formats (lectures, discussions)

To report effort:

1. Locate the activity in your workspace, then click the Report Effort button.

   

2. Fill out the effort form.

   

   • a) Locate the activity for which you are reporting effort.
   • b) Indicate whether the reported effort was for podium hours.
   • c) Enter the number of hours you worked.
   • d) Optional: You can add notes about the effort.
   • e) Select if you are reporting time during the academic or summer term. Then enter the dates you worked on the activity.
3. Click the Report button to save the effort. The time threshold bar will automatically adjust to include the reported effort.
