Criteria for the evaluation of the teaching are listed in Table 2. Course revision is defined as making a substantial modification to a course such as developing distance learning options, formally proposing to change course content/format, etc. Course development is defined as creating new course offerings, content and delivery methods. Curriculum development is defined as making a substantial modification to a degree program, and area of concentration or minor.

Other information such as written comments from students, colleagues within and beyond the School, College or University administrators shall be considered when available. Peer reviews and summaries of Student Surveys of Instruction (including all student comments) must be submitted as part of a candidate's file for reappointment, tenure and promotion. Copies of representative syllabi, examinations, summative peer review of teaching and other relevant teaching material should also be available for review.

Graduate Faculty members are expected to mentor graduate students. Documentation related to graduate student and undergraduate student should be included in materials provided by a candidate for reappointment, tenure and promotion. Evaluation of teaching will account for differences in missions and expectations across campuses.
