Common use of Areas of Evaluation Clause in Contracts

Areas of Evaluation. The primary areas of evaluation used for faculty are teaching effectiveness, including but not limited to, achievement of course and/or program learning outcomes, quality of syllabi and course materials, and teaching methodology. Performance evaluations will not be based solely on end of semester course evaluations. For Resident Faculty, the College will also consider the faculty member’s performance on aspects of their specifically-assigned responsibilities, including, but not limited to, committee service and student advising. The College, in its discretion, may also consider the Resident Faculty member’s performance in research, contributions to the field, and/or to the College and/or professional achievement. However, unless these activities are included as part of the job description, failure to perform these activities will not negatively influence the evaluation.
