Department Chair Series
Faculty Evaluation: Developing Confidence and Building Skills

February 9, 2:00-3:30 pm

Please register by JANUARY 15 so materials can be provided to you in advance. 

Writing annual performance reviews is the least favorite task for most department chairs.  Chairs just aren’t always prepared for the dynamics and requirements of this process.

You will be working from Jeffrey L. Buller’s book: Best Practices in Faculty Evaluation available as an e-book in our library via this Permanent Link. If you are accessing the library from off campus, you will be prompted to login with your RIT username and password.  Workshop discussions will be based on specific readings and case studies from this book (you will be emailed the assignments). Discussion will center on how to prepare for writing the annual review and conducting review meetings.  The goal of this session is to assist you in feeling more confident, competent, and comfortable with the faculty evaluation process.

Teachers on Teaching: Joshua Thorson on the Co-Occurrence of Teaching and Learning

Teaching and learning can be understood as a co-occurring phenomenon (as opposed to a transactional one) that materializes in the classroom through meaningful connections and active engagement with the subject matter, both individually and communally. Offering students freedom to discover subject matter through their own particular interests and goals presents an opportunity for individual learning, but the particular also offers opportunities for discovery within the community of the classroom; individual student learning exposes their peers, as well as the faculty teaching, to more skills or ideas than in a fixed demonstration or lesson.

Joshua Thorson is an Associate Professor in the School of Photographic Arts & Sciences, College of Art and Design; Program Director, MFA in Photography & Related Media; and Acting Program Director, BFA Fine Art Photography. Joshua is the 2019-2020 recipient of the Richard and Virginia Eisenhart Provost's Award for Excellence in Teaching. To learn more about his teaching and photographic work, see this RIT News article.

I’d be surprised if you'll have 3 square meals today. Did you remember to take the dog out this morning? Did you put soap on your toothbrush again? Not to worry. I have searched my mindbrary and unearthed the 10 golden teaching “hacks”--10 low-investment classroom strategies or mantras that I have stumbled into (or stolen) and that you are probably already doing. So come to my talk and feel good about that. By the way, as you read this, it looks like you are already late to 3 simultaneous Zoom meetings, one in-person meeting, and your oven is beeping. I’ll let you go now.

A 2021 recipient of an Eisenhart Award for Outstanding Teaching, Nate received his Ph.D. in 2009 from Clarkson University in Mechanical Engineering. His research background is in hydrodynamic stability analysis (particularly absolute/convective instability classification) and the long-time behavior of dispersive waves in fluids. From 2010-2014, Nate was an NSF CI-TraCS Postdoctoral Fellow, splitting his time between the Chemical Engineering Department and the Center for Computational Research at SUNY Buffalo. As a post-doc, Nate helped create the method of asymptotic approximants, a re-summation technique used to analytically continue truncated and/or divergent series. Since joining RIT, Nate has partnered with his long-time collaborator and co-creator of asymptotic approximants, Steve Weinstein, to build a research group of students and faculty with the goal of progressing efforts in asymptotic analysis in general.
