This form is used by SPH department chairs to evaluate graduate teaching performance
of adjunct instructors. Please complete the first page of this form and return it to your

1. Course Delivery (Use of strategies that facilitate learning and application)
a. Quality course delivery - use results from peer review of teaching to provide evidence
b. Engaging, varied assignments - provide examples
c. Frequent and high-quality feedback given to students - provide examples
2. Course Rigor (Procedures appropriate for graduate level study)
a. Use results from peer review of teaching to provide evidence of rigor
b. High quality, challenging assignments - provide examples
c. Sufficient grade spread - provide distribution of final letter grades
3. Course Tone (Enthusiastic, respectful, responsive approach)
a. Student course evaluations - use comments
b.
Accurate, timely responses to students and administration - provide examples
such as email communications
Briefly describe how you have addressed these areas in your course(s) this semester (make
reference to evidence - provide file names in each of the three boxes below):

What did you learn this semester that you will incorporate the next time you offer the course?
