Gender Studies Teaching Assessment Review Process

Temporary teaching instructors are reviewed on a quarter by quarter basis.  Course syllabi are to be submitted to the Chair/Vice Chair for approval at least two weeks prior to the start of the quarter the course will be offered, and course descriptions are due when teaching assignments are determined.  Teaching evaluations are reviewed by the Chair when they are available following the completion of a course, and feedback will be provided as needed.  Temporary teaching instructors who consistently teach for Gender Studies should expect a classroom visit and teaching report by a Gender Studies faculty member at least once annually.  Demonstration of teaching excellence is required for reappointment.
