There is too much to do (force) and too little time left in the quarter (area).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the future, Scott and Suzy will try to move some of these required tasks further away from the end of the quarter to relieve some of that pressure.\u00a0 For this quarter, we are thankful for your stamina and your patience.\u00a0 Here is a list of what each faculty member needs to get done.<\/p>\n
Submit an assessment chart for each of the course sections you are teaching for the English department this quarter.\u00a0\u00a0 Remember that adjunct faculty are paid $40 per completed\u00a0chart as long as the charts are submitted by June 30th.\u00a0 \u00a0You will find instructions on how to this at https:\/\/bc.instructure.com\/courses\/829528<\/a><\/p>\n Opt-in to online course evaluations AND provide an incentive to your students to complete the online course evaluations.\u00a0 I\u00a0(Suzy)\u00a0cannot tell you how many times I have put this off and then forgotten about it.\u00a0\u00a0 I am guilty of not doing enough to encourage my students to evaluate me.\u00a0 I regret it.\u00a0\u00a0 And as soon as I’m done with this post, I’m going to create an assignment for extra credit to encourage my students to evaluate me.\u00a0\u00a0 Opt-in at https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/classeval\/educator\/<\/a><\/p>\n Remember that you can arrange for Seda Markarova (seda.markarova@bellevuecollege<\/a>) to administer student evaluations with your students face-to-face if you wish, although, at this point in the quarter, she might be booked. \u00a0 \u00a0All tenure-track and adjunct faculty are contractually required to have students evaluate all of their classes.\u00a0 All full-time faculty should <\/em> evaluate all of their classes, but they are required to evaluate the classes they were assigned to evaluate at the beginning of the school year.<\/p>\n OK.\u00a0 I’m going to set a timer so I don’t forget to this when I’m done with this post.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Friday, June 13th we will meet as a full department from 1:30 – 4:30 and rewrite all of our course outcomes.\u00a0 We are doing this to support the college’s preparation for an accreditation visit.\u00a0 Adjunct faculty will be paid for attending.\u00a0 Please don’t hesitate to come for only part of the workshop if that is all you can manage.\u00a0 Your expertise and insight are needed!<\/p>\n Suzy\u00a0will be sending out a draft Winter 2014 schedule on June 12th and I will be asking adjunct faculty for their preferences.\u00a0 Please provide me with a bit of context.\u00a0 Are there times of the day you cannot teach for us?\u00a0 Are there modalities you do not feel prepared to teach well in?\u00a0 Are there classes you don’t feel comfortable teaching?\u00a0 And then, finally, what would be some ideal schedules?<\/p>\n Suzy will take the requests and then use them, during the summer, to build a Winter schedule.\u00a0 You won’t be able to find out what you’ve been assigned before mid-summer.\u00a0 The room assignment schedule and publishing schedule just put some critical deadlines in the middle of the summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n Remember that the English department decided that starting Winter 2015, no instructor will be assigned three classes completely online.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" End of the Quarter Pressure!
