The purpose of evaluation is to improve instruction and encourage professional growth. Each faculty member must have course evaluations administered in every class during the fall and winter semesters. Results from course evaluations are provided to the instructor. An aggregate summary of results for each faculty member and for the division is also made available to the Dean. Full-time continuing contract faculty and adjunct faculty meet with the Dean once every three years for an evaluation. Part-time (non-adjunct) and probationary full-time faculty are evaluated at least every other semester. These evaluations include classroom visitation, administrative evaluation, and peer evaluations, in addition to the course evaluations.
