DAPIR, in addition to the Office of the Registrar, provides official analyses and reports related to instruction and the curriculum. Variables include credits and student credit hours, sections, and courses as they relate to course subjects, departments, faculty and instructors, enrollments, and student characteristics.

This Tableau visualization provides information about the UW-Madison courses completed by bachelor’s degree recipients in the last five years and the percentage of graduates who completed each course.
Faculty Educational Workload Analysis and Related Data
UW-Madison’s Faculty Educational Workload Policy states that on a campus-wide basis, workload is expected to average two group classroom instruction sections and two individual instruction sections each semester for each full-time equivalent instructional position. DAPIR annually calculates these averages, and reports data on credit hours and undergraduate course section size, in the Data Digest:
- Average Course Sections per Instructor: pages 53-54
- Average Student Credit Hours per Instructor: page 55
- Average Undergraduate Section Size (Enrollment): page 104
