For January 1, to December 31,
Faculty Member:
The purpose of the summary of activities form is to obtain as muchinformation as possible concerning the contributions of the faculty to theuniversity. Therefore, many different categories have been listed. Thisdoes not imply there is an anticipation that a faculty member will havemade contributions in every category, nor does it imply that each categoryof activity is equally valued. The single most important mission of thenon-tenure-track faculty is to make an outstanding contribution in theteaching of assigned courses. The service that will be most valued will beservice directly related to the school's instructional mission. The impact of such service (e.g. number of students, number of sections/instructors who are helped) is what matters.
The school has on file a database with courses taught, studentevaluations and grade distribution for each course. This information willbe used by the chair and the personnel and budget committee in performanceevaluations. The evaluation will also take into consideration thedocumentation provided by department members in completing this summary ofactivities, together with recommendations of the Director of First YearMathematics and the associate chairs, evaluations from classroomvisitations and other evidence of performance in teaching and service.
