F. Performance Ratings

1. Ratings of Individual Evaluation Areas

   Ratings applied to each of the three evaluation areas should reflect an overall trend in performance and not just single, isolated events. The faculty member’s performance in each evaluation area must be indicated in the evaluation report and must be supported by a review of all relevant criteria comprising the evaluation area, as listed in Chapter Four, Section III, of this Faculty Policies and Procedures Handbook. Any evaluation area ranked by the evaluator as unsatisfactory (below standard, below average, or whatever wording is employed) must be sufficiently described and justified, and specific recommendations for improvement must be given in the faculty member’s evaluation report.

2. Overall Composite Performance Rating

   A faculty member’s evaluation reflects the complex, total performance of a faculty member in all three evaluation areas. Each faculty member must be provided an overall composite performance rating that combines each of the individual ratings for the three evaluation areas.
