Peer Review

Contact the faculty member to be reviewed and arrange for a class visit at a mutually agreeable time, but at least two weeks in advance.

Share a draft of your report with the the reviewee within two weeks of the classroom visit and ask for comments and corrections.

Send the final draft to me (I will then share share the final draft with the reviewee, have it placed in the files, and inform the reviewee that he or she has six weeks to attach a written response if desired). Give a signed copy to Connie.

You are reviewing the course. So you may wish to look at the web site, syllabus, assignments and exams. Further resources and information are provided below.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
