From tanya.peres at fsu.edu Fri Jan 5 11:23:20 2024 From: tanya.peres at fsu.edu (Tanya Peres) Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2024 16:23:20 +0000 Subject: CAR 106 - new furniture! In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Good news! The university finally? switched out the old nasty desks in CAR 106. Those desks were an emergency replacement for the lack of furniture when the building opened after renovations. Ever since I have been negotiating and advocating for new desks. Today is that day! We now have these futuristic, perfect for rearranging the students for small groups, all tablet trays can be right or left-handed, and they have storage underneath for bags, etc. They accommodate a range of body types, sizes, and other needs. In these pictures there are 25 seats. The crew brought in the rest after this - we now have an actual total of 32 seats. These are also used in other buildings, namely William Johnston. Each desk costs approx. $600. Please remind your students to treat them well. We want them to be around for thirty years!

Please remember to take and report first day attendance. The Instructor of Record (IOR) must be the one to enter the attendance either via Canvas or Student Central. Graduate Assistants cannot do this. Best, Tanya Dr. Tanya M. Peres, Chair Professor Department of Anthropology Florida State University 850-644-8201 ________________________________ From: Jeremy Johnson Sent: Monday, January 8, 2024 8:22 AM To: Jeremy Johnson Subject: REMINDER: 1st Day Non-Attendance - Spring 2024 Good Morning, Please forward this email to all Spring 2024 instructional faculty and staff. The University?s mandatory First Day Non-Attendance Drop policy is in effect for the first week of Spring 2024 classes. The use of different delivery methods for Spring 2024 classes does not remove this requirement. Dropping students for first day non-attendance is necessary in order for the university to remain in compliance with Federal Financial Aid regulations (and students expect it). This policy requires all faculty and instructional staff to take attendance at the first class meeting of the semester. This policy is non-discretionary and applies to all classes, regardless of campus, space availability in the class, delivery method, course level, and/or academic unit offering the class. As a reminder, ?attendance? means making contact with the instructor as specified by the instructor at the start of the term. There are a number of ways this contact can be achieved. One way instructors can take first day attendance is via their Canvas course site(s). Please see First Day Attendance in Canvas for more information and options. If you use Canvas to satisfy the first day attendance requirement, please note that you still need to report your first day non-attendance drops as directed below. Methods for reporting and processing non-attendance drops: 1. Faculty ? For now, please continue to go to the following link for instructions and screen shots: How To Use the Attendance Roster Tool. 2. Staff ? For now, please continue to go to the following link for instructions and screen shots: How To Use the Attendance Roster Tool. 3. Email -- Send a message to registrar at admin.fsu.edu. Please include the student's name, EMPLID, the course prefix and number and the class section number. Staff will be monitoring this email closely and will be processing drops up until midnight on the 4th day of classes (Thursday, 11 January 2024). 4. myFSU Mobile -- Check and submit first-day attendance via the mobile version of Faculty Center. Simply download the myFSU Mobile app from the iTunes App Store or Google Play and follow these instructions (for now): How to Submit First Day Attendance via myFSU Mobile. 5th Day Classes and Non-attendance Drops: Once drop/add closes on Thursday, 11 January 2024, faculty will still be able to use the attendance tool for their Friday (12 January) classes. Please take attendance in any class that meets for the first time on Friday, 12 January 2024. Additional Information We are no longer processing administrative cancellation requests on the fifth day of classes. Students that need to drop all of their classes will need to be directed to the Withdrawal Services Office. Thank you, Office of the University Registrar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Just as in years past, this process includes submitting your evidence of performance over the past calendar year (Spring 2023, Summer 2023, Fall 2023) and your current FEAS CV. This year you have the option to submit the usual EOP Worksheet (attached) or you can submit a CV customized specifically for the annual evaluation generated in FEAS (instructions attached).

(Malinda Carlisle): on or before February 22, 2024 Info on Annual Faculty Evaluations from the Office of Faculty Development and Advancement: https://fda.fsu.edu/faculty-development/annual-evaluation-faculty Required Items: 1. Curriculum Vitae University policy requires faculty to maintain an updated curriculum vitae in the Faculty Enhancement and Advancement System (FEAS). Faculty are expected to update their FEAS CV at least once per year. Once updated be sure to "Publish" it. Please generate a "General CV" in FEAS. Export the .rtf file to PDF. 2a. Evidence of Performance (EOP) Worksheet Attached is the EOP Worksheet that we have filled out in previous years. You may continue to fill this out if you choose. ??????????????????????????????????????????OR 2b. FEAS Custom CV for Annual Evaluation To make the EOP less time consuming, I created a custom FEAS CV template for our department, specifically for the Annual Evaluation. It includes all of the same information as requested on the EOP. The attached PDF shows the steps on how to generate this CV. Your FEAS must be up to date for this to be usable. For Your Information: ORCID If you do not already have an ORCID, please consider registering for one. You can then link to it through FSU FEAS. This allows you to import publications and grants associated with your ORCID in the future. https://orcid.org/ PT&E Committee Review Once Malinda and I have reviewed the documents for completeness, we will forward them to the PT&E committee (McCoy, Horsburgh, Peters). Please keep in mind that spouses cannot evaluate each other. Refer to the Department Bylaws, page 8 for information on annual evaluation reviews. The PT&E committee will send their written assessments of faculty to the Chair, no later than March 8, 2024.

The Office of Distance Learning is here to help! We are pleased to announce the second iteration of the Easy Fix campaign, an initiative designed to improve course accessibility with a series of small, simple changes. This Spring 2024 semester, [Accessibility is attainable! Register for our workshops to learn about document accessibility and Universal Design for Learning. With Read More link] we will distribute instructions for five quick fixes you can make to ensure that your teaching materials are as accessible as possible. Everyone benefits when educational resources are accessible, not just those with disabilities. We hope these tips are helpful as you work to improve course accessibility for all learners. Where did Easy Fix come from? The Office of Distance Learning (ODL) launched the first Easy Fix campaign in 2021, when FSU was operating primarily online. For many instructors, online teaching was an entirely new experience. This unfamiliar landscape required significant adjustments, especially in ensuring the accessibility of course content. To help, ODL created the Easy Fix campaign. Easy Fix 2021 offered the following five accessibility tips: * How to Add Image Descriptions * How to Fix Contrast Issues * How to Add a Missing Title * How to Add Headings in Documents * How to Convert a Microsoft Word File to a PDF Before we begin Easy Fix 2024, take a look at the tips from Easy Fix 2021 to see if there are any changes you can make to improve accessibility in your courses. Also, head to our Ally Resource Guide for more information on how to use Ally, a Canvas accessibility tool. Easy Fix 2024 will be efficient, effective, and easy to undertake. If you spend some time implementing the five simple tips, your course accessibility ratings should improve in no time. Your first Easy Fix will be coming soon, so stay tuned! We look forward to sharing our accessibility tips with you. ________________________________ Questions?

As quoted below, the Agreement also specifies that in-class visits from 2023 may not be used in the teaching evaluation unless the observer submitted a report to the faculty member within ten days of the observation. Dean Collective Bargaining Agreement, p. 36: 10.3 Annual Evaluations. (b) Teaching effectiveness. (3) The teaching evaluation must take into account any relevant materials submitted by the faculty member. Examples of such materials include class notes, syllabi, student exams and assignments, supplementary material and peer evaluations of teaching. (4) Observation/Visitation b. Upon request, a faculty member is entitled to an evaluation of teaching based on direct observation or visitation by one or more peers. c. Whenever a person conducts a classroom visit for the purpose of evaluation, a report of his/her observations must be submitted to the faculty member within ten (10) working days of the observation. Otherwise, nothing from the visit may be used in the evaluation process.

These must be supplied at a minimum. Supporting documents (as outlined in our bylaws and/or the CBA) are welcome in addition to the CV and EOP. In terms of class observations, Mark and I discussed, and I conferred with Associate Dean Tim Logan. We agreed that our bylaws and the CBA can be interpreted to the effect that the department decides. Ever since I have been at FSU the chair has visited all of the faculty's classes at least once a year. I am quite happy to not do that. Faculty can request a visit if they like - and it can be from any other faculty member, it does not have to be me. Without observations/visit, faculty performance in teaching will then be relegated to data in other categories, as specified in the bylaws and CBA. For tenure-track faculty, our bylaws say that the PT&E committee members and the department chair arrange for in-class visitations. Teaching shall be evaluated by a number of instruments including: student evaluations (from SPCI or other Evaluation Forms), in-class visitation(s) by members of the Promotion and Tenure and Evaluation Committee, and department chair, volunteered and solicited comments from students and former students, evaluations from colleagues who have direct knowledge of the candidate's teaching, and evaluations of syllabi and other class materials. In addition, the PT&E will evaluate lists of courses taught, graduate student committees served upon, and graduate students supervised during the relevant period. Mentoring activities will be evaluated including direction of projects resulting in publication by and with students, and placement of students in career positions. Publications of pedagogic books, articles, and receipt of teaching awards will also be taken into account. The PT&E committee (McCoy, Peters, Horsburgh) will need to decide who goes on the in-class visitations for Drs. Chakrabarti and Shattuck. I will visit both of their classes and anyone else that requests for me to do so. As Dean Falk pointed out, if any observation is to be used in the annual evaluation, a written report must be made available to the faculty member being observed. Please reach out with any questions about the process. Best, Tanya Dr. Tanya M.
