The performance of all members on term or probationary appointments (except for one-year non-renewable term appointments and sessional appointments) shall be evaluated in written form by their Dean/Director by December of each year. Tenured and continuing members will be evaluated every two (2) years. Nothing in this Article will preclude annual evaluations at the member's request or with the agreement of the member.
Evaluations shall address all relevant criteria as outlined in Article 8 and/or, if applicable, the member's job description. Evaluations shall be based on the Dean's/Director's assessment of the member's performance as well as self-evaluation of the member. As part of the evaluation process, members shall provide their Dean/Director with an updated curriculum vitae which addresses the Qualifications by Rank categories outlined in Article 8 and, if applicable, the member's job description.
The evaluation of teaching attainment will take into account surveys of student opinion. Each faculty/unit will devise an instrument for use in such surveys. The form and administration of this instrument must be agreed to by the Dean/Director and the Faculty/Unit, but such agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld. When such surveys are used, only information expressed in summary or statistical form will be forwarded to the Dean/Director for use in formal evaluation. Transcriptions of comments by individual students will be made available to instructors who may determine without prejudice whether they shall be considered in formal evaluation.
Other factors which may be taken into account in evaluating teaching attainment include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
A copy of any evaluation or set of evaluations must have been seen by the Member, who shall sign it as having been read before it is placed in the Member's Personnel File (see Article 19). Any Member who considers that he/she has been unfairly or inadequately evaluated may submit to his/her Dean/Director, within one (1) week of seeing the evaluation, a written objection, one (1) copy of which shall be attached to the evaluation in question and one (1) copy, signed by the Dean/Director as having been seen, kept by the Member.
