Chapter 5 Hiring and Employment Policies and Procedures
Evaluation
The department chair will evaluate, in writing, the teaching of adjunct
faculty after every odd-numbered semester of teaching (not necessarily
successive), beginning with the first. The basis for these evaluations
will be established by the department chair and the faculty member at
the time of the latter’s initial appointment. Evaluation materials
will include: Student course evaluations, which will be completed every
semester by students in courses taught by adjunct faculty; course materials
prepared by the faculty member; and the chair’s own observations.
Once completed, the faculty member will receive a copy of the evaluation
and have the opportunity to accept it or write a letter of exception
regarding it. The evaluation, and any letter of exception, will become
a part of department’s files and the faculty member’s University
Personnel File maintained in the Office of Academic Affairs. Adjunct
faculty must receive at least a Satisfactory rating in evaluations to
continue employment at the University.
