Please copy these to your Department Chairs and to candidates whose promotion cases are being considered this year. The Committee will be reviewing these suggestions after this year's promotions have been completed, and comments are welcome. Authors should be listed in the order they appear on a publication. Submitted papers should be listed separately from those published or accepted. The number of pages or page range should be given for each publication.
Collaborative research is to be encouraged.
Teaching Files normally should contain a numerical summary of student teaching evaluations over the previous four or five years. An explanation should be given if these data are not included. There needs to be a clear explanation of the meaning of numerical scores used in student teaching evaluations in each Department or Faculty. Information should be provided in the Chair's summary to enable Promotions Committees to determine whether a particular numerical score is low, average, or high. Student teaching evaluations should be supplemented by peer reviews of teaching, preferably over a period of years.
