The Senate, in partnership with the Vice Provost of Faculty Affairs, seeks to improve DU’s methods of course evaluation and teaching review for the purpose of annual reviews, promotion, and reappointment. This Task Force will be faculty-driven but may also include staff with subject matter expertise and administrators (such as Associate Deans) with oversight or job responsibilities in these areas. This is the first step in a multi-year and likely multi-committee process to have a robust, rigorous, and evidence-based set of methods to assess teaching performance holistically, and that allows units flexibility of practice in a way that best aligns with their faculty and academic programs.
