A visiting student is a person who is enrolled as a matriculated student at
another college or university. (See page
34 of 1990‑1992 Undergraduate Catalog.)
Non-matriculated students are expected to familiarize
themselves with catalog requirements and to seek further advice or
clarification.
To convert from non-matriculated to matriculated
status, a student must:
1. satisfy all
regular admission requirements, or
2. complete a
minimum of 28 semester hours of degree‑creditable work at ECU and earn at
least a 2.2 grade point average on all hours attempted at ECU. Applicants who do not meet the high school
course work requirements as prescribed by UNC General Administration must complete
as part of their program of study six semester hours each of the following
subject areas: English, Mathematics,
Science, and Social Sciences. The
student must also provide documentation of all previous educational background
attested to at the time of initial enrollment under the non-matriculated
student policy.
Once the student has matriculated, only 28 hours of
undergraduate course work taken as a non-matriculated student may apply toward
a degree program. Students enrolling
under this policy must comply with all University policies regarding the
payment of tuition and fees and must comply with N.C. state law concerning
health and immunization records.

PLEASE NOTE:
Revisions to this policy were made by the Admissions and Recruitment
Committee on November 13, 1991, and not sent back through the Faculty
Senate for approval. Reason for
revisions was that the title "NONMATRICULATED STUDENT" causes the
student to be ineligible for financial aid.

Bob Schellenberger, Reporting
WHEREAS, the University calendar is significantly
controlled by the procedures required for students who have flunked out but
wish to appear before the Readmission Appeals Committee. This procedure involves a typical separation
of 26 days from the end of the fall semester exams to the beginning of the
spring semester. Thus a small group of
students have forced us to an extended separation between the end of the fall
semester until the start of the spring semester.
WHEREAS, all students seeking readmission have
received at least 3 previous notices about poor academic performance. Thus the affected students have already
received advanced warning.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Credits Committee
and the Readmission
Appeals Committee investigate jointly a change in readmission
policies designed to reduce the separation between fall semester
and
spring semester. Consideration should be
given to utilizing
this
time to delay the start of the fall semester.

Proposals to

1. Instructor initiated drops for students
missing the first 2 class

- thus permitting closed out students a chance for unused
seats.
2. A drop penalty of $25 for those dropping
after the 2nd. day - perhaps this should be based on drop history (i.e. the
first drop
in an academic
year at no cost, the 2nd. at $25, the third at $50, etc.)

Teaching Effectiveness Committee
George Bailey, Chair
The
METHODS
FOR ASSESSING TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS
Academic Unit Implementation Plans endorse The
University's Strategic Plan Goal that Academic Units employ more than one
approach when assessing the teaching effectiveness of faculty members. Appendix C of the Faculty Manual
requires that a survey of student opinion of instruction be used in evaluating
teaching effectiveness. Appendix C
permits the use of other methods and procedures when initiated by the Unit and
recommended by the
ADDITIONAL
METHODS OF EVALUATING TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS
Annual Goals Assessment: An annual
agreement with the unit administrator where specific goals are set that
contribute to effective classroom teaching.
Such goals might include, but are not limited to, updating syllabus and
reading lists, developing study guides, implementing new instructional
procedures, and incorporating components of writing/critical thinking into
course. The unit administrator will
evaluate progress related to the agreed‑upon goals at the end of the
academic year.
Faculty Report: A description of teaching
activities including, but not limited to, the names and numbers of courses
taught, number of students taught and advised, services on thesis/dissertation
committees, involvement with instructional development activities, descriptions
of teaching methods, and other activities that bear on the effectiveness of the
unit's educational program. (Much of
this information is currently part of the annual report.)
Analysis of Instructional and Other Materials: Review by
the unit administrator and/or peers of course materials including syllabi,
reading lists, outlines, examinations, audiovisual materials, student manuals,
samples of student's work on assignments, projects, and papers. Other materials prepared for or relevant to
instruction.
Instructor-Generated Evaluations: Instructor‑generated
evaluation procedures, such as checklists, survey‑type instruments,
videotapes of class sessions, and written entries reflecting on teaching
techniques and philosophy.
Classroom Observations: Direct observation
of classroom teaching or observation of videotaped class sessions by peers or
experts. Several techniques help to make
observations objective: use of an
observation guide or structured process determined by the unit for
observations; a number of observations before final report is prepared;
observations and reports by at least two observers; observation by those
outside the faculty member's immediate unit.
Structured Interviews with Former Students: Face‑to‑face,
telephone, group interviews, or surveys asking for comments on current or
former professors. Broad questions, such
as the following, are asked to solicit overall evaluation statements: Describe why you would recommend (or not
recommend) Professor X's class to a friend?
How did Professor X's class prepare you for advanced work in the
subject? What is your overall assessment
for Professor X?
Measures of Student Achievement: In the case
of multi‑section courses with a diagnostic pretest and a final
examination that both measure abilities in a similar way, student improvement
may be used as a measure of teaching effectiveness. In addition, multi‑section courses that
use an identical final examination for all sections make possible a comparison
of relative teaching effectiveness of individual faculty where observed
patterns hold over five or more semesters.

The
SEVEN
CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE TEACHING
1. Good Organization of Subject Matter and Course:
Reflected in the objectives, course materials, assignments, examinations,
instructor preparation for class, and effective use of class time.
2. Effective Communication: Reflected in
lecturing ability including use of motivational techniques such as audiovisual
aids, clarity of presentation, verbal fluency, interpretation of abstract
ideas, good speaking ability, good listening skills, and the ability to
communicate the organization and sequence of a course.
3. Knowledge of and Enthusiasm for the Subject
Matter and Teaching:
Reflected in
the choice of textbook, readings and reference lists, lecture content, course
syllabus, and personal interest displayed in the subject and in teaching.
4. Positive Attitudes Toward Students:
Reflected by helping students master subject matter, encouraging students to
ask questions and express opinions, being accessible to students outside the
classroom, and expressing a general concern for student learning.
5. Fairness in Examinations and Grading: Reflected in clarity of student assessment
procedures including papers, assignments, exams, classroom discussion, and
other activities, including relative weight toward grade, consistency among
objectives, course content, and assessment procedures, and timely, useful
feedback on student progress.
6. Flexibility in Approaches to Teaching: Reflected in the use of alternative teaching
strategies such as small group discussion, simulations, use of audiovisual
materials, and varying the approach and pace of instruction to meet different
learning styles among students.
7. Appropriate Student Learning Outcomes: Reflected in student performance on various
assessment measures and positive changes in student attitudes and values.

Ad Hoc Committee to Review Administrative Evaluations
Bill Spickerman, Chair
Statement of Principles and Procedures for evaluating
Administrators
The evaluation of administrators will be based in
part on a survey of faculty opinion carried out according to the following
principles and procedures.
Principles
A. East
Carolina is committed to the regular evaluation of administrators' performance
and to the continuing development of administrative ability.
B. Administrators
are to be evaluated by their immediate superiors based on the range of
administrative responsibilities of the position. In addition and as appropriate, teaching,
research, and service activities will be reviewed.
C.
Just as faculty
have opportunities to enhance their teaching and research skills through
development experiences provided by the University, so too should administrators
have opportunities to enhance their administrative skills.
D. Faculty
opinions of administrators' performance are an important source, although not
the only source, of information to be used in evaluating effectiveness.
E. Faculty
should have the opportunity to participate in an annual opinion survey of
administrators' performance. The results
of this survey are confidential and should be reported only to the
administrator and his/her campus superiors.
Procedures
A. Each
faculty member shall have the opportunity each year to provide a rating of overall
satisfaction with the performance of the chair, dean, the appropriate Vice
Chancellor, and the Chancellor.
B. Each
faculty member shall be asked to provide a rating of his/her department chair
and dean on the following items: 1) adherence to ECU and Unit Codes and other governance
documents, 2) assignment of workload, 3) support for teaching/advising, 4)
support for research, scholarships, and creative activity, 5) support for grant
and contract activity, 6) support for service, 7) support for clinical practice,
8) representation of the unit, 9) leadership, 10) communication (clarity,
openness, accessibility), 11) fostering an atmosphere of respect on matters of
gender, ethnicity, race, nationality, and sexual orientation.
C. Only those
administrators who are in their second or more years of service shall be rated
by faculty.
D. Additional
administrators may be rated periodically by appropriate subsets of faculty at
the initiative of their next higher administrator.
E. An
opportunity for narrative responses shall be provided.
F. Faculty
surveys shall be anonymous.
G. The
aforementioned principles shall accompany each survey form.
H. Results of
the survey shall be reported by frequency of contact of respondents with the
administrators they rate.
That a joint Administration-Faculty Committee of six
persons with expertise in the development and evaluation of surveys be
appointed jointly by the Chair of the Faculty and the Chancellor with the
charge of recommending to the Faculty Senate and University administration an
instrument to be used for the faculty survey of administrative effectiveness.
That, pending the report of the Committee recommended
in Recommendation 2, the present instrument for the survey of faculty opinions
of administrative effectiveness be completed by faculty members in April of
each year. The selection of faculty to
be surveyed, the administrators on which surveys are completed, the dissemination
of results of the surveys, and the use of the result of the surveys should
conform to the Statement of Principles and Procedures in Recommendation 1.

Teaching Effectiveness Committee
Margie Gallagher, Chair
One of the results of the planning process, which
culminated in the Strategies for Distinction document, was a clear commitment
of the University to undergraduate education.
As the faculty and administration move forward we must remain focused on
our commitment to undergraduate education.
One clear way to do this is to insure high standards in teaching through
assessment and development of teaching effectiveness. One of the methods for improving teaching
effectiveness which is of growing interest and concern, particularly for
accrediting bodies, is peer review.
The following is a list of suggestions that may be
considered for use as a guide in the development of a peer review process.
1) Peer evaluation procedures for a unit should
be determined by the faculty of that unit and be in compliance with Appendix
C and the unit code. Evaluation
procedures should be well defined and use proven instruments. In addition, faculty must be trained in the proper
use of these procedures before they are implemented.
2) Some methods are better suited for evaluation of
teaching for purposes of merit, promotion and tenure and other for development
or improving teaching. Of the methods cited
above, two are more suitable for evaluations by colleagues. They are:
a)
Annual Goals Assessment
b)
Analysis of Instructional and Other Materials
Diamond (1987) contains examples of how evaluations of these two kinds
could be conducted.
3) Classroom
observations are a beneficial tool for developing teaching effectiveness. We make the following recommendations:
a) When faculty classes are
observed, at least two observers be used and each observer visit a class at
least twice.
b) It may be helpful to have
faculty teaching observed by members outside the unit.
c) Observation teams can be a useful
way of collecting data. The team members
observe one another and discuss observations. This method can build teaching
support as well as data for development.
It is often helpful if the team is interdisciplinary and consists of
junior and senior faculty. Observation
teams should consist of not more than four people.
Diamond (1987) also contains examples of forms that
could be used for such evaluations. It
should, however, be noted that some pedagogues do not follow traditional
lecture/discussion methods. In order to encourage and facilitate alternate and
innovative pedagogues appropriate formats should be sought by the unit.

Faculty Computer Committee
** RESCINDED ON JANUARY 30, 2001, FACULTY
SENATE RESOLUTION #01-4 **
Policy Statement on Evaluating Faculty Authored Computer
Programs or
Software
Computer programs or software should be evaluated and counted as are
other intellectual products developed by faculty ‑‑ e.g., musical
scores, works of art, poems, biographies, the identification of a chemical
testing procedure etc.
A. Computer
programs or software may further knowledge in a discipline, enhance a faculty
member's teaching, or provide a service.
When evaluating a faculty member's computer program or software for the
annual report, the products: does it make an important contribution to one's
teaching, does it enhance one's professional development, does it further
knowledge in one's discipline, is there some recourse to "standards"
through a peer review process, does it enhance the university's level of
service? Published software should be
subject to a peer review process which would provide the same "tangible
evidence" for its contribution to scholarly work or teaching that is
provided by peer review of other published or juried works.
1. Teaching:
If the faculty authored software is being
applied to teaching, then the evaluation and credit
should be under that category. (With
East Carolina University's emphasis on incorporating computing and new
technology into the instructional setting, there needs to be encouragement and
reward for faculty who invest the time and training to do so.)
2. Research/Creative
Activity: If the faculty authored
software is a part or result of research or creative
activity which is published, presented, or exhibited, then the evaluation and
credit should be under that category. Published research incorporating faculty
authored software should be treated as is other published research.
3.
Service: If the faculty authored
software is for use in professional service, then it should be evaluated
under that category.
B. From
discipline to discipline the form taken by the candidate's contribution will
vary. (Such discipline‑specific
standards already apply to the evaluation of the annual reports and of
materials reviewed for tenure and promotion.)

University currently recognizes the health hazards of a smoke-filled
environment, as manifest in health and medical course teachings; and

current campus-wide policy exists to guide the development of smoking
regulations in campus buildings; and

Therefore Be It Resolved, that the Faculty Senate move
to adopt a clean air policy in all University owned or operated buildings by
Fall, 1992.
Be It Further Resolved, that smoking areas be
designated for each building provided that adequate ventilation protects the
non-smoker.
Be It Further Resolved, that assistance be sought
from the University Wellness Director to meet the needs of any faculty or staff
member who is interested in a smoking abatement program.
