have five voting members and one alternate.Any individual who is
a candidate for promotion and/or tenure will not be eligible for P&T
Committee membership during the year of candidacy.The membership
of the P&T Committee will be formed as follows:
Considering
Assistant to Associate Professor: The
P&T Committee will consist of all Bargaining Unit Full Professors and
at least two Associate Professors and the Department Chair (who is nonvoting).The
Associate Professors will be elected based on a secret ballot of Department
Bargaining Unit Faculty held each Spring Quarter. If the number of Bargaining

discussion/deliberation phase may include one or more secret “straw votes”.However,
a final, official decision shall be made by secret ballot, only after identical
results are obtained in two successive secret ballots.The letter
of recommendation must include the final results of the two successive
secret ballots.The P&T Committee must review the letter before
a final draft is sent forward.
Discussion/deliberation may occur at any stage of the
process, including between secret ballots.However, by a vote of a
majority of the voting P&T Committee members, discussion/deliberations
may be ended after two successive secret ballots with identical results.
- Professional

III.ANNUAL
EVALUATION OF FACULTY
- Procedures
for Annual Evaluation:
- Submission
of Materials for Annual Evaluation:All faculty members holding a full-time
teaching appointment in the Department of Management will submit a summary
of accomplishments
(Activity Report using the accepted College format) in Teaching, Scholarship,
and Service for the preceding calendar year to the Department Chair and
the P&T Committee no later than February 7 of each year.
Assistant Professors must also include a teaching portfolio
each year which will include: (1) syllabi for each course taught; (2) sample
exams from each course taught; (3) examples of student papers/projects completed
for each course taught; (4) the narrative portion of the student teaching
evaluations for each class taught; (5) the numerical summary of student teaching
evaluations for each class taught; and, (6) any other materials the individual
chooses to include to demonstrate teaching effectiveness and accomplishments.
Associate Professors must include a teaching portfolio
every three years which includes: (1) syllabi for each course taught; (2)
sample exams from each course taught; (3) examples of student papers/projects
completed for each course taught; (4) the narrative portion of the student
teaching evaluations for each class taught; and, (5) any other materials
the individual chooses to include to demonstrate teaching effectiveness and
accomplishments.
In all cases, faculty members teaching
multiple sections of a course each year need only submit one set of examples
per year.Items to be included are:sample syllabus; a sample
of one set of exams; and one to three student papers/projects completed.If
teaching evaluations are conducted in multiple sections of a course, all
evaluations for all sections completing evaluations must be reported.
The standard weights for Bargaining Unit faculty are:
Teaching40%
Scholarship40%
Service20%
Faculty members can make arguments and present evidence
supporting a change in these weights for their individual cases to better
reflect where their efforts will be spent the upcoming year, subject to the
approval of the Chair.For example, it is reasonable for an Assistant
Professor to argue for 50% on Scholarship and 10% on Service.Individuals
receiving teaching releases to perform service or to conduct research shall
have the opportunity to reduce the weight on teaching to reflect the release
and apply that weight to the area for which the teaching release was granted.Weight
will not generally fall outside the following ranges:
Teaching30%
to 50%
Scholarship30%
to 50%
Service10%
to 30%
- Peer
Evaluation of Teaching:Assistant
Professors shall submit their teaching portfolios to the P&T Committee
by an announced deadline (usually the first Friday in February) of each
year.Associate Professors shall submit their teaching portfolios
to the P&T Committee at least every three years, with the first one
due by the deadline specified in the previous sentence.The portfolios
will include:(1) syllabi for each course taught; (2) sample exams
from each course taught; (3) examples of student papers/projects completed
for each course taught; (4) the narrative portion of the student teaching
evaluations for each class taught; (5) the numerical summary of the student
teaching evaluations for each course taught (optional for Associate Professors
- choosing not to submit numerical information will not be held against
him or her); and (6) any other materials the individual chooses to include
to demonstrate teaching effectiveness and accomplishments (e.g., number
of new preps; new techniques used).
The P&T Committee will evaluate the teaching portfolios
for the following:
- Consistency
of syllabi with topics to be covered in the course.
- Whether
exams reflect the topics listed in the syllabi.
- Whether
projects/papers focus on applying topics covered in the course.
- Identify
areas from student teaching evaluations that consistently suggest positive
teaching practices.
- Identify
areas from student teaching evaluations that consistently suggest weaknesses
in teaching practices.
- Identify
any innovations, specific to the individual, that have been applied to teaching.
- Identify
any accomplishments, specific to the individual, related to teaching.
In the event an individual appears to be having difficulty
in the classroom, members of the P&T Committee may observe that individual
in one or more classroom situations. Indications of serious problems may
be reflected in the student teaching evaluations or numerous complaints made
to the Chair or other faculty regarding classroom behavior.
The P&T Committee will provide each individual
evaluated and the Department Chair with written feedback regarding teaching.This
feedback should identify specific accomplishments and positive progress in
teaching.It should also identify specific areas in which improvement
is needed, if any.In cases where improvement is recommended, specific
recommendations need to be made as to how the individual may make those improvements.Referrals
should also be made to the Development Committee to provide assistance to
those individuals needing to improve in teaching.
- Annual
Evaluation Report:Each
faculty member will receive a written report from the Chair indicating
the individual’s evaluation in each of the areas, Teaching, Scholarship,
and Service, and an overall performance rating.Possible ratings
are: 0 = unsatisfactory; 1 = adequate; 2 =meritorious; 3 = outstanding;
and 4 = extraordinary.If the faculty member agrees with the evaluation,
he/she will sign a copy of the evaluation and return it to the Chair.If
the faculty member disagrees with the evaluation, he/she may write a rebuttal.The
rebuttal must be attached to the evaluation and returned to the Chair.The
Chair will ensure that the rebuttal is forwarded to all entities who will
see the evaluation.
- Annual
Evaluation Criteria:
- Teaching:
Unsatisfactory
A faculty member whose teaching is not acceptable and needs improvement and
observation. A faculty member may be evaluated as performing unsatisfactorily
based on student evaluations and a review of the relevant teaching materials.This
level of performance often leads to a significant number of student complaints.The
following are examples of performance problems:
- The faculty member does not seem prepared
for classroom activities
- The faculty member does not seem current
on the subject matter
- The faculty member shows little enthusiasm
for the subject matter or classroom interaction
- The faculty member does not return examinations
and assignments in a timely manner, does not manage the classroom well,
is not available to students, etc.
- On a regular basis, the faculty member shows
up late for class, dismisses class early, or does not show up for class
at all
- On a regular basis, the faculty member is
not available during his or her office hours
Adequate
A faculty member in
this category performs satisfactorily based on student evaluations and
a review of the relevant teaching materials. The faculty member is recognized
as providing a positive learning environment that is conducive to student
learning. This faculty member would benefit from developing behaviors such
as those described in the Meritorious and Outstanding categories.Performance
at the Adequate level of performance is typically demonstrated through:
- Having
an appropriate (as defined by the department, college and university)
syllabus which is distributed at the first meeting of the class
- Meeting with the
class at the scheduled times unless there are extenuating circumstances
- Keeping
course content current with developments in the field
- Incorporating
current AACSB business context and functional area requirements into
appropriate courses as defined by the college and departmental curricular
missions
- Incorporating
library and/or computer resources into appropriate courses as defined
by the college and departmental curricular missions
- Adhering
to policies regarding student evaluations and obtaining adequate student
evaluations in all courses taught without consistent serious problems
- Being
available in his/her office during posted office hours unless there
is an unavoidable conflict
- Returning
examinations and assignments with comments in a timely manner
- Submitting
course grades in a timely manner
- Being
prepared for the classroom (speaking to the topic area, demonstrating
preparation through logical and informative lectures, class exercises
or other related pedagogical tools)
Meritorious
A faculty member in
this category demonstrates many of the following:enthusiasm for
the subject matter; prepares thorough and challenging course syllabi, course
materials, and examinations; integrates current thinking on the course
topic into classroom instruction; and is readily available to students
outside class time for discussion and counseling.Assuming the faculty
member has met the requirements for Adequate, a significant number of activities
such as those listed below can be used as evidence of meritorious teaching.The
following list of "bulleted" items represents a non-exhaustive
list of examples only, and equivalent activities may be used as evidence.
Each "bulleted" item
is separate and discrete, so that, for example, serving as a mentor for
a faculty member counts the same as preparing a course for the first time.Serving
as a mentor for a faculty member and preparing a course for the first time
counts as two activities.Likewise, serving as a mentor for two faculty
members and preparing two courses for the first time count as four activities.
- Serving as a teaching mentor
to other faculty
- Preparing a course that they are teaching for the first
time
- Having a teaching portfolio demonstrating effective
teaching
- Participating effectively as the subject in a teaching
improvement effort involving classroom visitations with feedback (e.g.,
Center for Teaching and Learning)
- Effectively teaching extremely large sections (Evidence
from the materials submitted for the faculty member's annual performance
evaluation will be used in making this determination. It is up to the
individual faculty member to make the case that a course should be
considered a large section.)
- Effectively supervising Independent Study/Internship
- Having consistently positive teaching evaluations from
students.
- Having consistently positive teaching evaluations from
peers.
- Having a larger than normal number of assigned preparations
per year on the main campus (for faculty with teaching reductions for
intellectual activities, the normal number of preparations will be
less than that for faculty without such reductions) or teaching in
one of WSU's off-campus programs
- Receiving teaching honors from the Department within
the past two years
- Received teaching honors from the College within the
past three years
- Received teaching honors from the University within
the past four years
- Being readily available to students at times other
than posted office hours for discussion and counseling
- Effectively teaching writing-intensive courses
- Showing evidence of continuous improvement in delivery
of courses taught
- Integrating external
service, consulting, research activities into the classroom experience
Outstanding
A faculty member in this category exhibits many of the following:
demonstrates enthusiasm for the subject matter; stimulates students of
varying abilities; attends seminars or colloquia for improvement; tries
new pedagogical methods and technologies in the classroom; shares successful
techniques with colleagues; prepares thorough and challenging course syllabi,
course materials, and examinations; integrates current thinking on the
course topic into classroom instruction; and is readily available to students
outside class time for discussion and counseling.Assuming the faculty
member has met the requirements for Meritorious, any three bulleted items
from the following list (or equivalent activities that may be identified
by the individual), one of which must be an updated teaching portfolio
(as described in III.A.2), can be used as evidence of outstanding teaching.The
following list of "bulleted" items represents a non-exhaustive
list of examples only, and equivalent activities may be used as evidence.
Each "bulleted" item
is separate and discrete, so that, for example, receiving the Department
Teaching award within the past two years counts the same as developing
and successfully delivering a new course.Receiving the Department
Teaching award within the past two years and developing and successfully
delivering a new course counts as two activities.Likewise, receiving
the Department Teaching award within the past two years and developing
and successfully delivering two new courses counts as three activities.
- Receiving teaching honors from the Department
within the current or prior year
- Received teaching honors from the College
within the current or prior year
- Received teaching honors from the University
within the current or prior year
- Developing and successfully delivering a
new course
- Developing a new course that makes a significant
contribution to the curriculum at Wright State University
- Significant new contributions to interdisciplinary/interdepartmental
curriculum integration
- Having consistently excellent teaching evaluations
from students and/or peers.
- Maintaining an updated teaching portfolio
demonstrating excellence in teaching. Such a portfolio should contain
documented evaluations of classroom performance, evidence of the demonstration
of enthusiasm for the subject matter; attendance at seminars or colloquia
for improvement of teaching; a thorough and challenging course syllabi,
course materials and examinations.
Extraordinary
A faculty member in
this category exhibits four of the following: demonstrates enthusiasm
for the subject matter; stimulates students of varying abilities; attends
seminars or colloquia for improvement; tries new pedagogical methods
and technologies in the classroom; shares successful techniques with
colleagues; prepares thorough and challenging course syllabi, course
materials, and examinations; integrates current thinking on the course
topic into classroom instruction; and is readily available to students
outside class time for discussion and counseling.Other equivalent
items may be counted.The faculty member must demonstrate teaching
activities that clearly exceed expectations for Outstanding.
- Scholarship
Unsatisfactory
No activity that would qualify the faculty member for Adequate.
Adequate
Research progress may be indicated by documenting at least
one of the following during a two-year period which includes the
current evaluation period.
- Submission of a manuscript to peer-reviewed or refereed
journal.
- Submission of an article in a trade or practitioner
publication.
- Submission of an arbitration decision for publication.
- Submission of cases, chapters, comments or invited

Meritorious
There are three separate pathways to achieve meritorious.
- The Department faculty recognize
that peer-reviewed or refereed journal articles are the traditional
method for demonstrating scholarship, and are within the College's
and Department's missions.Publication of one article in
a peer-reviewed or refereed journal during a two-year period which
includes the current evaluation period, demonstrates scholarship
at the meritorious level.
- The Department faculty recognize that peer-reviewed
or refereed journal articles are the traditional method for demonstrating
scholarship, and are within the College's and Department's missions.Publication
of two articles in peer-reviewed or refereed journals during a five-year
period which includes the current evaluation period, demonstrates
scholarship at the meritorious level.
- The Department faculty recognize that there
are a variety of other activities that also demonstrate scholarship
(examples are listed), and that are within the College's and Department's
missions.Publication of one article in a peer-reviewed or
refereed journal during a three-year period, which includes the current
evaluation period, with one or more of the following activities during
the same period, demonstrates scholarship at the meritorious level.The
following list of "bulleted" items represents a non-exhaustive
list of examples only, and equivalent works may be used as evidence.
Each "bulleted" item is separate and discrete,
so that, for example, publication of a peer reviewed paper presented
at an academic, professional, or pedagogical regional or national
meeting counts the same as publication of a book review or funding
of an external grant.Publication of one peer reviewed paper
presented at an academic, professional, or pedagogical regional or
national meeting and one book review count as two activities.Likewise,
publication of one peer reviewed paper presented at an academic,
professional, or pedagogical regional or national meeting and two
book reviews count as three activities.
- Publication of peer-reviewed
paper, workshop, symposia, poster-session, etc., at academic, professional,
or pedagogical regional or national meetings.
- Publication of an article in a trade or
practitioner publication.
- Publication of an arbitration decision.
- Publication of cases, chapters, comments
or invited articles.
- Publication of a research monograph.
- Publication of instructional software.
- Publication of book review.
- Funding of an external research grant.
- Funding of an internal grant request.
- Other intellectual contributions on a
continuing basis appropriate to the College's and Department's mission.
Outstanding
There are four separate pathways to achieve outstanding.
- The Department faculty recognize that peer-reviewed
or refereed journal articles are the traditional method for demonstrating
scholarship, and are within the College's and Department's missions.
Publication of two articles in peer-reviewed or refereed journals
during a two-year period which includes the current evaluation period,
demonstrates scholarship at the outstanding level
- The Department faculty recognize that peer-reviewed
or refereed journal articles are the traditional method for demonstrating
scholarship, and are within the College's and Department's missions.Publication
of three articles in peer-reviewed or refereed journals during a
five-year period, which includes the current evaluation period, demonstrates
scholarship at the outstanding level.
- Publication of (a). a revised edition of
a previously published book in the discipline of the author's teaching
or professional training, either sole-authored by the individual
or in the case of co-authorship where the individual demonstrates
having made a substantial contribution; or (b). publication of a
first edition book for which the individual has made a substantial
contribution.These exclude vanity press publications.It
is up to the individual to present evidence of his/her contribution.This
may be done through letters from the co-author(s) and/or publisher.
- The Department faculty recognize that there
are a variety of other activities that also demonstrate scholarship
(examples are listed), and that are within the College's and Department's
missions.Publication of two articles in peer-reviewed or refereed
journals during a three-year period which includes the current evaluation
period, with two or more of the following activities during the same
period, demonstrates scholarship at the outstanding level.The
following list of "bulleted" items represents a non-exhaustive

Publication of three articles in peer-reviewed or refereed journals
during a two-year period, which includes the current evaluation period,
demonstrates scholarship at the extraordinary level.

period, demonstrates scholarship at the extraordinary level.
- Publication
of a first edition book in the discipline of the author's teaching
or professional training, either sole-authored or first-authored
by the individual (excluding vanity press publications).It
is up to the individual to present evidence of his/her contribution.This

noted otherwise, Scholarship should be counted as follows:
- Books and monographs in the year of
acceptance date or publication/ copyright date. The faculty member
must clearly state which date is to be considered.
- Publications of book chapters in the
year of acceptance date or publication/ copyright date. The faculty
member must clearly state which date is to be considered.
- Journal publications in the year of
acceptance or publication/copyright date. The faculty member
must clearly state which date is to be considered.

- Service
The third component of a faculty
member's responsibilities is service to the institution, the profession,
and to local, national, and global communities.It will be
up to the individual faculty member to provide evidence as to the
significance of the activity and its relationship to the profession.This
may be done by providing evidence of outcomes for each activity.
Unsatisfactory

or no evidence of service activity at this level. The faculty member
does not meet the requirements of an Adequate level
of performance.
Adequate
- The faculty member demonstrates all of the following

following list of "bulleted" items represents a non-exhaustive
list of examples only, and equivalent work may be used as evidence.
Each "bulleted" item is separate and discrete,
so that, for example, effectively leading a special department project
counts the same as serving as a session chair at a significant national
or regional conference.Effectively leading a special department
project and serving as a session chair at a significant national or
regional conference count as two activities.Likewise, effectively
