279.00 ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT POLICY

In order to assess the effectiveness of the classroom instruction, Cowley College adjunct faculty will be evaluated at least once annually utilizing feedback from students and/or observations by Cowley College instructional personnel. Two methodologies are utilized:

1. Classroom Observations – Visitations by Cowley College personnel in which instructors are evaluated utilizing a standard form outlining observation criteria. A written copy is returned for review and to obtain a signature from the instructor. A copy is kept on file in the instructional office.
2. Student Evaluation – A rating sheet is completed by students towards the end of the course ranking instructors on a number of criteria. A summarized copy of the results is provided to the instructor upon completion of the semester. A copy is also kept in each instructor’s personnel file.
