ELABORATION OF CHEMISTRY PROGRAM STANDARDS FOR TEACHING FACULTY

6.1. Teaching

6.1.1. Same asUniversity and School Standards
6.1.2. The Chemistry Program encourages faculty to recognize that there
is no single effective teaching style. Faculty are encouraged to
develop a teaching portfolio to demonstrate effective teaching as
defined by University and School Standards, including a statement
of goals and evidence towards realizing these goals including
appropriate assessment mechanisms.
6.1.2.1. Same as University and School standards
6.1.2.2. Sound course design and delivery in all teaching
assignments-whether program, General Studies, or
Independent Studies, introductory or advanced offerings– as
evident in clear learning goals and expectations, content
reflecting th6.2.2. Same as the University and School Standards.

6.2.3. Same as the University and School Standards.
6.2.4. Same as the University and School Standards. Clarifications of the
evaluation of scholarly and creative activities are as follows.
6.2.4.1. Same as the University and School Standards.
6.2.4.2. Same as the University and School Standards.
6.2.4.3. Same as the University and School Standards, including:
judgements by industrial donors.
6.2.4.4. Same as the University and School Standards
6.2.4.5. Same as the University and School Standards.
6.2.4.6. The Chemistry Program understands excellence in a
variety of scholarly activities to embody the following:
6.2.4.6.1. Books, monographs, and authored chapters in an
edited volume should be published by reputable
academic or trade presses.
6.2.4.6.2. Same as the University and School Standards,
including: appropriate journals should be peerreviewed.
6.2.4.6.3. Scholarly activity involving students that is
peer-reviewed is weighted more heavily,
however scholarly activity with student
involvement is valued regardless of the venue.
6.2.4.6.4. Same as the University and School Standards.
6.2.4.6.5. Same as the University and School Standards.
6.2.4.6.6. Other forms of scholarly activities appearing in
alternative media, such as videos, websites, fora
and blogs, provided the work is of sufficient
quality, as evaluated by knowledgeable faculty or
external evaluators.
6.2.4.6.7. Same as the University and School Standards.
6.2.4.6.8. Same as the University and School Standards
6.2.4.6.9. Same as the University and School Standards.
6.2.4.6.10. Same as the University and School Standards
6.2.4.6.11. Same as the University and School Standards.

6.3. College and Community service
6.3.1 Same as the University and School Standards, including serving as a
faculty advisor for a student club or organization.
6.3.2 – 6.3.5. Same as the University and School Standards.
6.4 Part-time faculty: Expectations for part-time teaching faculty are not explicitly
addressed in the University and School Standards and thus are elaborated here:
6.4.1 Teaching: Same as University and School Standards consistent with
rank with the following modifications:
6.4.2.1 While the standards for teaching faculty include precepting, the
Chemistry Program needs typically do not require part-time
faculty to act as preceptors.
6.4.2.2. While the standards for teaching faculty include General Studies
teaching, part-time faculty in the Chemistry program typically
are needed to teach exclusively in Program courses due to
enrollment demand.
6.4.2 Scholarship: Part-time faculty in the Chemistry Program are not
expected to engage in independent research and there are minimal
resources available with which they could do so. Part-time faculty
should participate in professional development activities and/or
collaborative research projects to meet scholarly expectation.
6.4.3 Service: Part-time faculty are expected to engage primarily in Programlevel service. Additional University or community service is valued but
not expected.
