The eVS system is a web-based system that allows you to manage the information required by the PAR.
It is divided into four information sections: General, Research, Teaching, and Service. In each section you can enter and modify data specific to that section as well as enter a comment in a free-text box.
There is also a section called Reports that allows you to preview your PAR, print and save it to a PDF file, and formally submit it for evaluation by your department.
Some information will be already populated for you: course evaluations, PhD committee memberships, grant/contract expenditures, and grant/contract proposals.
The data you enter usingeVSis stored in a database that is used to support other Web-based applications to be developed by the school. We encourage you to enter new information usingeVSas it becomes available during the year. This enter-as-you-go process will make it easier for you, will relieve the pressure of having to do your PAR by a certain deadline, and will allow interim school reports to be generated at any time.
TheeVSdatabase is stored in a dedicated server with a RAID-5 configuration for increased fault-tolerance. Moreover, it is backed up every day around 2:00am to a shadow server with the same configuration.
The system implements an approval workflow based on the following concepts. Each department may have PAR evaluators appointed by the department chair. Once a faculty member submits the PAR to the department by using theeVSsystem, the PAR becomes visible and available for annotation by the department's evaluators and by the department chair. When a department chair and the department evaluators complete the review of a PAR they can submit it through theeVSsystem to the Dean. At this point, the PAR becomes available for review and annotation by the Dean.
