Full-time faculty must participate in program review, as per the CBA.

SLO Coordinators

Your current SLO coordinators are:

Ann Womack, awomack@siskiyous.edu
Liz Carlyle, ecarlyle@siskiyous.edu

Contact either of these colleagues if you have questions about assessing student learning outcomes or if you have been contacted by your Dean to assess your course student learning outcomes this semester.

Office Hours

All faculty are expected to maintain regular and substantive interaction with their online students, which includes scheduled office hours, as per our CBA, Article 9.11. Your office hours should align with your modality. For example, if you are teaching Hybrid Live, you may hold either an on-campus or a virtual student hour. If you are teaching only Online Anytime, your office hours should be held virtually, as well as by appointment. Regardless of modality, all office hour(s) should be listed in your course syllabus, your Course Home page if you use one, and in your Course Welcome Module.

Article 9 of the CBA states: "Full-time instructional faculty shall schedule and maintain at least five (5) office hours (face-to-face or online) per week each semester. Faculty teaching online classes may schedule and be available to conduct some of their office hours online. If the faculty member holds online office hours, the online office hours will be in proportion to their online load for the semester."

Adjunct instructors can request payment for office hours. Contact the Office of Academic Affairs to learn more.

Committee Service

Faculty shall participate on college committees and other professional assignments, and these activities will be documented as part of the Full Time evaluation process. Adjunct Instructors are also welcome to participate on Senate committees or attend Senate meetings as their schedule permits.

Evaluations

Article 7 of the CBA provides specific information for both FT and Adjunct evaluation procedures. All faculty evaluation activities originate from the Office of Academic Affairs and your respective Deans.
