Music Department’s policy regarding Part-Time Faculty Review and Student Course Evaluations:
In addition to the expectations below, all part-time faculty should consult the pertinent policies in the faculty handbook (Part III: Section 14) for more about performance review.
- Following each academic year, the Chair and Area Coordinator in your area will review all student course evaluations from the year for applied music and regular classes taught by part-time faculty.
- Part-time faculty should expect a communication annually from the Chair and Area Coordinator during the period from May to August to discuss, review, or summarize information included in the evaluations. The communication will typically be written, verbal, or take the form of a request for an in-person meeting. In the case of any verbal communication or in-person meeting to discuss evaluations, a written summary of the conversation will be sent to commemorate the conversation.
It is our hope that this process inspires conversation among faculty within the department about teaching and learning and aids the department in identifying ways it can better support your teaching and the learning process for students.
