Popis: Annual faculty evaluations generally include evaluations of teaching, research and service. The research component is relatively simple to evaluate because the evidence of quality is easy to identify--grant dollars generated and their sources as well as numbers of publications and journal quality. Evaluating teaching activities, however, is another matter. Although teaching portfolios and student evaluations are useful tools, most faculty and administrators agree that good processes and comparative measures for evaluating teaching are difficult to find. To complicate the matter further, what constitutes good teaching is usually implied and not defined. A good definition of quality in teaching would be helpful, especially to assist new faculty in setting and working toward their teaching goals.
