Lecturers Annual Review
In response to the recently ratified Bargaining Agreement between the University of Michigan and the Lecturers Employee Organization (Agreement), the College of Engineering is instituting an Annual Review for all Lecturers. This Annual Review represents the Colleges commitment to excellence in engineering education and as additionally considered a best practice in instructional faculty development and growth. In addition, this process will satisfy the requirements of the Agreement with respect to the Annual Review and the Interim Evaluation (see Article XIX).
The Annual Review process parallels other evaluations processes for personnel of the college and provides for annual feedback from the Lecturers supervisor regarding your performance. The structure of the form is designed to parallel the materials that are necessarily developed as part of the Major Review, thus streamlining data gathering for that activity. In addition, the Annual Reviews will be included in the materials consulted as part of the Major Review process.
The annual review process will begin with Lecturers employed during the Fall semester 2007. The reviewer will be either the Lecturers department chair or a cognate faculty member appointed by the chair that oversees the instructional responsibilities of the Lecturer. The due dates for the annual review are provided on the form. Please note that if appointed only during the Fall semester, the form must be completed by the end of February. Those with both Fall and Winter or Winter only appointments must complete their form by the end of May.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact either your department chair or Lorelle Meadows, Managing Director of Academic Affairs for the College of Engineering (lmeadows@umich.edu; 647-7035).
