1986 Annuat Performance Evaluation
of Herb Dershem
Professor of Computer Science
by
Irwin J. Brink
Teaching: Herb is a superb teacher. I donrt think that anyone in the
Nlflidl3cieirces Division surpasses hirD in this regard. Students gave him
alnost all A's olr the Math evaluation form. Written commentsby studelts
were all complimentary.
Herb tells me that he has never served as a teacher consultant l think
we have missed an opportunity here. He has much to offer young faculty
members who wish to improve their teaching perfomance. I rate his
teaching this past year as excellent to exceptional
Advising: Herb had a normal load of advisees, most of whom were maiors,
ana-wii a conscientious, effective advisor' He has been responsible for
establishjng a formal advising program for majors that should be examined
as a campus-wide nodel, I rate his advising as excellent
scholarship:
Herb was active in the review of proposals, papers, and
-Ee
boo-Fs.
continued to consult with Parke-Davis and ilitiated work ir
I rate his scholarship as fair-good
artificial ilteligence.
Service: Herb had a rnajor colunittee assignment as chair of the Computer
SEiiiEE Cornmitteein addition to a number of service projects that were of
shorter duration. The quality of hls service work was very good. I rate
his service as good to excellent.
Chairpersons Duties: Herb is an excellent chairperson, who works well
wIiF-ECT;uIiv
to assist them in their teaching and professional activily.
He piovides solid leadership in developing the curriculum and the profesHe
sional direction of his department, Planning is one of his strengths

Assistant Professor frorn the University of lowa, who will join the Hope

maintaining contacts with Jipping and urging him to cast his ]ot with Hope.
I rate his perfordrance as chair this past year as excellent.
