Evaluation

Your academic chair or supervisor is supposed to evaluate you before the end of your first semester, periodically any time after that, and when you are eligible for promotion. For fall hires, evaluations are due by Thanksgiving; for spring hires, evaluations are due mid to late April.

Evaluations are based on your knowledge of the subject, effectiveness, performance of responsibilities, and professional growth. The observer will complete a B Form which contains both a narrative and a rating between "excellent" and "needs improvement." If you suspect that there will be a problem, you should find a peer (an FA representative, typically the Adjunct Coordinator) to be present during the formal observation.

Observations/evaluations for adjunct PAs, librarians, and counselors occur during the first semester of employment and also must be conducted during a stated and specific time.
