Create an evaluation system for rating professors (aka Teacher Evaluations) on the teaching
dimension of their positions.
Write a guide that outlines the process for conducting your teaching evaluation. The
guide should address the following questions:
1. How often will the job be evaluated?
The job will be evaluated twice per semester (once by a peer faculty member and once by the
department head), four times overall. The job will also be evaluated once at the end of the
semester through student evaluations. The ratee will get a formal assessment at the end of the
school year but will receive feedback at the end of each semester.
B. Teaching Evaluation
Choose 8-10 criteria that you want to include on a performance appraisal for your
professors as an in-class evaluation.
The number of items per criterion will depend on what type of system (Bars,
BOS, graphic rating scale) you use.
Include the system of rating (will you use anchors? What scale will you use?)
Provide a brief explanation of how you addressed content-related
recommendations from your reading.
BOS
Each criterion has two to four questions related to it, and responses that
include four possible answers to choose from: Never, sometimes, often, or
always. Below are the four criterion we chose for the BOS, followed by some
sample questions that deal with them.
BARS
Each criterion has a rating scale from 1-5. Ratings 1, 3, and 5 would have a
brief description as an example of what behaviors and actions would be
exhibited by a faculty member with this rating.
