COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES AND FINE ARTS
Procedure for Preparing the 2011-2012
Instructor/Lecturer Performance Evaluation Form
1.
At the beginning of each semester, including Maymester and Summer Sessions, send
copies of your course syllabi to your department Chair and to the Dean’s Office. Syllabi
should indicate (1) assignments, (2) the goals and objectives of the course, (3) attendance
policy, (4) grading scale or formula, and (5) all required or recommended texts for the
course.
2.
Throughout the year, keep your Chair well informed (in writing) of all of your professional
activities beyond teaching.
3.
Invite your Chair to visit one or more of your classes and to provide you with feedback on
your teaching.
4.
Student evaluations of teaching are required for all courses. Student perceptions of
your teaching effectiveness provide important insight into revising and refining your
courses. The results of these evaluations become part of your permanent record. Because
evaluations for spring semester courses typically arrive after the evaluation process has
begun, you should submit evaluations for your spring semester courses and any summer
courses during the previous year as part of this report.
5.
Complete the Instructor/Lecturer Performance Evaluation Form and send it to your
department Chair, along with an updated curriculum vitae, on or before the fourth Friday
in April (April 27). Ideally, the part of the form you complete should be no longer than
five pages in length.
6.
By the second Monday in June (June 11), your Chair will read your Evaluation Form,
complete and sign the section of the report titled "Department Chair's Evaluation and
Recommendations," and may meet with you individually to discuss your performance.
You should consult with your Chair at the beginning of the academic year about
performance expectations for Instructors and Lecturers in your Department.
7.
If you feel that the Chair’s evaluation is unfair, you may file a letter with the Dean
requesting a written review of the annual report. The Dean will then add the Dean’s own
written comments and interpretation of your performance, citing supporting evidence if the
evaluation differs from that of the Chair.
8.
After the Chair’s review, your report will be returned to you for your signature. Your
signature does not signify concurrence with the Chair and Dean's evaluations; it indicates
that you have read the two evaluations. After making a copy for yourself, return the entire
original document to the Dean's Office for inclusion in your permanent file.
