FACULTY AND APPRAISAL
The annual appraisal, with the evidence attached.
Teaching, research, institutional service and student feedback, held against the member of faculty they belong to, through the year rather than at the end of it. The appraisal is assembled from the record.
WHY THIS EXISTS
A fortnight assembling the year.
Appraisal season is spent gathering evidence that existed all along: which courses were taught, what was published, which committees were served, what the students said. The people assembling it are the people it is about.
WHAT IS IN IT
Everything this office has to stand behind.
Appraisal reports
Held per member of faculty, moving through recorded stages, with report types for the different categories a university appraises against.
Teaching profile
What was taught, to whom, and what the class audit found.
Student feedback
Collected against the course and carried into the appraisal it informs.
Institutional service
Committee and service records, which are the part most often forgotten by the person who did them.
Research and publications
Recorded by category, with the publications held alongside.
Comments
Written into the record by the people entitled to write them.
THE BOUNDARY
It assembles the record. Your committee judges it.
No score, ranking or recommendation about a member of your faculty is produced by TIFAQM or by the software. The evidence is gathered and presented. Every judgement made from it is made by the people your institution appoints to make it.
THE LIVE DEMONSTRATION
Open a real registrar’s office.
Four departments run live at edu.tifaqm.com: admissions, finance, HR and academics. Sign in as a guest and open them as a registrar would. No form stands in front of it, and no one calls you afterwards.
