This book contains a wealth of material on current evaluation practices and realistic suggestions for upgrading methods and procedures. Seldin and his associates cover every aspect of the evaluation of teaching, research, and service--from gaining genuine faculty support to collecting and assessing various kinds of data--revealing what works and what does not.

Offering numerous suggestions for improving evaluation methods, assessing program weaknesses, and avoiding common problems, this book discusses how to:

  • Evaluate teaching, research, and service
  • Tailor common practices to meet particular needs
  • Guard against bias in evaluation
  • Use classroom visits, student evaluation, and self-evaluation
  • Determine the best combination of evaluation methods
  • Gain genuine faculty and administrative support
  • Avoid weaknesses of student, colleague, and self-evaluation
  • Get the most accurate picture of faculty effectiveness
  • Develop a professional portfolio

Included are field-tested forms and checklists that can be used to measure faculty performance in teaching, research, and service. The suggestions for improving faculty evaluation are practical and clear--sensible advice for strengthening a process that is of increasing importance in higher education.
