Faculty may be assigned to evaluate an instructor (full-time or AF) who teaches online. Peer evaluators will “visit” the online course area during the classroom visitation dates in the evaluation timeline. Peer evaluators should reach out to the evaluee and ask to be added as an “observer” to their Canvas course(s). If they need help doing this, they should contact the office of the Assistant Dean of Instruction.
Evaluating faculty who teach in the Incarcerated Student Program is also a unique process. The instructor’s self-evaluation material, and their course materials will be emailed to peer evaluators. As with all evaluations, peer evaluators will go to the Office of Instruction to review student course evaluations and samples of the instructor’s feedback to students that are provided by the ISP Office.
After reviewing the material, complete the evaluation, send it to the evaluee, and set up a time to confer about the evaluation. For instructors out of the area, this should be over the phone or via Zoom.
See the AF section above for the process timeline.
