(a) Where evaluations of teaching effectiveness by academic peers (i.e. other teaching employees) are used, they shall (except as allowed by Article 26.4(b)) be restricted to consideration of the topics identified in Article 26.3(a), but need not include consideration of all of them. Any such evaluation shall be written and signed, and shall clearly identify which of the topics is being considered. (b) Peer evaluations may also consider the extent to which the methods and material used by an instructor achieved the objectives of the course as identified by the instructor, provided such evaluations do not violate Article 4, Academic Freedom. (c) Peer evaluations shall contain a written statement of the evidence on which the evaluations were made and the circumstances in which the evidence was collected. Only evidence which is reasonably reliable and reasonably indicative of the characteristic being evaluated may be used. (d) Peer evaluations shall be presented, complete, in accordance with the provisions of this Article, and in written form, sufficiently in advance of their being used for any purpose to allow an instructor to respond to them in writing.
