Summary of Course Evaluations

Dossiers must include a tabular summary of teacher course evaluations (sample in MS Word) indicating:

  1. For each course the faculty member has taught at Duke, the courses (number, title, and year), enrollment, number of evaluations received, and individual averages for: number of hours students spent preparing for this class or another measure of demand on the students (for the spring 2001 machine-readable forms, provide the average for questions 6, 7, and 8; for fall 2001 and thereafter, provide the average for questions 3 and 4), overall instructor ranking, and overall course ranking.
  2. Departmental averages to date for all undergraduate courses (000-199): demand level (for the new machine readable forms, this may be an average of items 6, 7, and 8 or items 3 and 4, depending on the version), overall instructor ranking, and overall course ranking.
  3. Departmental averages to date for all graduate courses (200 and above): demand level (for the new machine readable forms, this may be an average of items 6, 7, and 8 or items 3 and 4, depending on the version), overall instructor ranking, and overall course ranking.
 
 
 

Updates:

09/01/09 - As you know, the Provost asks the department or school to provide the names and e-mail/other addresses of additional "arms-length" potential evaluators—experts who are competent to review the candidate’s scholarship but who have not been approached by the department. Presently APT requires three (3) such potential evaluators. But, effective for all dossiers due November 1, 2009 and beyond, APT will require a total of six (6) such additional names.

11/24/08 - A new section on formatting dossiers is now available. Please check this section regularly for updates..

06/11/2008 - For cases coming before the Appointments, Promotions and Tenure (APT) Committee, the Provost now requires the dossier to be in Adobe Acrobat format on a CD.  This CD should be formatted to be read by computers using Windows operating systems.  (File titles should only contain alpha-numeric text.) The CD should include copies all candidate materials except publications not available digitally (e.g. books), which should be included as hard copy. 
NOTE:  Your Dean’s office may require one or more hard copies of the dossier.  Check with the Dean. 

Dossiers for candidates in non-tenure track positions may still be submitted in paper format, within a ringbinder(s), labeled on the spine to identify the candidate, with tabbed dividers separating the individual sections. Check with your Dean's office for individual School requirements.

04/03/2008 - Please check with your dean's office for their requirements regarding the number of dossiers to prepare for tenure-track reappointments.
