The Faculty Annual Report should be completed by Faculty and submitted by the end of May. Faculty should provide a self-assessment of their performance in each of the major category and provide evidence of their activities and accomplishments. The purpose of this form is
- to record your work and accomplishments for the preceding year,
- to provide the basis for a yearly evaluation (required for all full-time faculty), and
- to collect information that can inform both contract renewal and promotion processes where applicable.
The following is a general format for the Faculty Annual Report. Faculty can be creative in how the report is presented, however the core sections listed below must be included:
A. TEACHING AND INSTRUCTION
B. RESEARCH/SCHOLARSHIP/CREATIVE WORK
C. ADMINISTRATIVE/ PROFESSIONAL/COMMUNITY SERVICES
D. SELF EVALUATION/OTHER
In each of the categories, Faculty performance should be rated as Outstanding, Above Average, Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory. Unless there are extenuating circumstances (as detailed in the Annual Faculty Report), Faculty are expected to achieve a rating of Satisfactory in each of the three (3) major categories. Given BAMSI’s commitment to excellence in teaching, research & scholarship and service, as professionals all Faculty should aspire to the highest rating of all categories. Please note that the level of participation in most cases reflects the level of your faculty performance rating. For example, chairing a conference has more weighting than simply attending a conference. Therefore, please provide adequate documentation to support your report.
Note: Some of the sections may not apply to every Faculty, and some of your accomplishments may not fit neatly into the sections. Feel free to add additional academic and professional accomplishments that you do not think fit neatly but which are important to your evaluation. Examples provided are not universal expectations, but instead guides to record effort and achievements.
