Annual Faculty Self-Evaluation

POLICY:

All full-time and regular part-time faculty are required to complete an annual self- evaluation. Each Department Chair reviews the self-evaluation completed by each faculty member in his/her department to determine the extent to which the faculty member’s performance meets the criteria specified for his/her track (tenure or nontenure) and rank (instructor, assistant professor, associate professor or professor).

Evaluation criteria focus on teaching, scholarship and service. There is multidimensional assessment of teaching which includes a review of course materials, peer review of teaching effectiveness and student satisfaction with teaching. Scholarly expectations include publications, presentations and funding to support research/scholarship. Service expectations include service to the School of Nursing, University and profession.
