IU FACULTY SUMMARY REPORT PRIOR TO ACADEMIC YEAR 1999-2000:

-Development or major revision of course(s) during the year.

-Dissertation, Research and Field Work Committees

-Teaching awards and honors, including those of your students.

Indiana University’s summary report form for individual teaching activities required of each faculty member annually was as shown above prior to Fall 1999. It is similar to that used in many institutions. There are also sections (not shown) for Research & Creative Activities and Service.

Look at the categories of reportable teaching activities. Category B is generally taken to mean curriculum development or major revision of curriculum. Activities associated with improvement of pedagogy or with demonstrable evidence of improved student learning are not encouraged on such a report. Indeed, the lack of a place to report pedagogical activities on the form is a tacit statement about institutional values and rewards.
