Faculty Evaluations
In accordance with the Adjunct Faculty Board Policies (available as a 226KB PDF file published by MCCCD Human Resources), adjunct faculty will be evaluated once during each of the first three (3) semesters, excluding summer semesters. Evaluations are normally conducted by the appropriate Associate Dean of Instruction, Department Chair or Assistant Chair. Any course that meets three (3) weeks or less does not require an adjunct faculty evaluation.Evaluations will normally utilize GCC Instructional Form 12-90: Part - Time Evaluation Form (Parts 1 and 2). Copies of this form are available from each department or the Personnel Services Office. In some cases, departments have developed their own, or additional forms for evaluating adjunct faculty. Please consult with your department for copies of these forms and evaluation procedures.
Evaluation Timelines
All evaluations, faculty or student, must take place between the fifth and 12th week of instruction. This insures sufficient time for instructors and students to develop a cooperative relationship and optimizes the number of students likely to participate in the evaluation process.
Evaluations After The First Three (3) Semesters
Evaluations of adjunct faculty by the college or its students following the first three semesters of instruction is left to the discretion of the college administration and Department Chair. Adjunct faculty will be notified when such evaluations are necessary.
Copies of Evaluations and Files
A copy of each adjunct faculty evaluation will be provided to the adjunct faculty member and a copy will be placed in the adjunct faculty member's personnel file in the GCC Personnel Services Office.
