How to Forward your Cases to the Next Review Level
Updated onArticleAs a Lecturer Evaluator there are 2 methods to move submitted WPAFs to the next review level, by the annual deadline published in the FAR evaluation time tables. Once the case is forwarded from the Dean's review level, it will go one of three places depending on whether the case is for a Part-time Lecturer, Full-time Lecturer, or is a Range Elevation. Full-time Lecturer (FT Lecturer) cases come directly to FAR, this step is called "FAR Processing" Part-time Lecturer (PT Lecturer) cases go directly to College Processing, when the Dean's offices will do a final processing of the case This step is new and it is included because the Dean's offices hold the PAFs for Part-time Lecturers All Range Elevations come to FAR for a final preparation before it goes to the Provost for final decision.

Sharing Copies of Faculty Rebuttals with DPRC & Department Chair
Updated onArticleAs part of the Evaluation Process, one of your responsibilities as the Dean is to provide copies of any rebuttals filed in response to your Performance Evaluation statement with the committees that have previously reviewed the WPAF material. The Faculty Member under review will need to complete and upload a copy of FAR Lecturer Rebuttal Response Form within the 10-calendar day rebuttal period that you established for your completed Performance Evaluation. If the rebuttal period was set up correctly Interfolio will send you a notification to your fullerton.edu inbox from California State University Fullerton from <[email protected]>. Once you receive that notification log into Interfolio, open the case and read what the faculty member's response was to your performance evaluation. If a written rebuttal statement was submitted, it needs to be shared with the committees who previously reviewed WPAF in the evaluation process.

Evaluating Submitted Material
Updated onArticleAs a member of a review committee in the Lecturer Evaluation Process, your primary objective in this role is to assess how well the documentation submitted in the WPAF demonstrates the Lecturer Faculty's performance in comparison to the criteria published in UPS 210.070 or approved Department Standards for Lecturer Faculty (DSLF). To begin the evaluation process you will need to find the cases that are assigned to you as a reviewer. For a more in-depth description on how to that reference the earlier article on "Finding Your Assigned Cases". Otherwise there is a brief refresher down below. Once the assigned cases have been located, you will need to open each case to see what each individual submitted as evidence of his or her professional performance. Different types of lecturer evaluations will have different amounts of submitted documentation, for a summary of these volumes please refer to the table provided in the "Review Step Introduction". After reading the submitted material and comparing it to the appropriate criteria in UPS 210.070 or the approved Department Standards for Lecturer Faculty, the review committee needs to write its performance evaluation for the faculty member, including the performance ranking. Performance rankings for Annual Periodic Reviews (per UPS 210.070) Exceeds Expectations Satisfactory Needs Improvement Unsatisfactory Performance Rankings for 6-Year Comprehensive & Year 3 of 3 Reviews (per UPS 210.070) Satisfactory Unsatisfactory *All Lecturer performance evaluations need to be written on the template form provided by FAR. All performance evaluations, also, need to be completed, uploaded to "required items" box in each Interfolio case, and shared with the faculty member under review (also known as the "candidate") by a specific date each annual cycle. Failure to accomplish all responsibilities for the review step by the published deadline will result in an email notification from the FAR office.
