A faculty member鈥檚 performance is evaluated by criteria that are consistent with the Sandhill鈥� Community College Faculty Mission and Philosophy statement. Sandhill鈥� 鈥渟tatement of academic freedom鈥� included in the Personnel Manual supports the free and open exchange of academic concepts and ideas on campus and as part of classroom activities. At the same time, the faculty evaluation process helps ensure that the equally important principle of academic integrity is also followed. With these two principles in mind, faculty teaching performance is measured against the letter and spirit of the mission and philosophy statement as well as the following criteria.

The faculty teaching criteria are stated in the numbered items. The lettered items are examples of how the requirements will be met, although other items may be added, where appropriate, for individual departments. These criteria are also used in faculty and student evaluation forms. During the evaluation process, emphasis is placed on improving faculty performance through professional development activities. Sandhill鈥� Community College recognizes that scholarship is an important aspect of the faculty mission. Participation in formal research activity, however, is not a contractual expectation for faculty members.

Faculty members should do the following:

1. Provide appropriate and effective instruction.
   1. Provide each student with a course syllabus that includes course objectives that are stated in terms of student learning outcomes, learning activities to achieve those objectives, method of evaluation, and an attendance policy that provides for reasonable absences in case of emergencies and illness.
