  • Title: Appraisal of teachers in the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Liverpool.
    Author: Faull WB, Taylor IR, Gaskell CJ.
    Journal: Vet Rec; ; 131(25-26):579-83. PubMed ID: 1287953.
    Abstract:
    In 1988, the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Liverpool, introduced a system of teacher appraisal, following the report of a faculty working party. The system is designed to provide information which will help the personal development of teaching skills, and also to provide the information required by the university for promoting a lecturer to senior lecturer. It incorporates opinions from students, collected formally by means of questionnaires, and from personal peers chosen by the lecturer, and a self-appraisal record which forms the basis of an annual review from the head of department. Official peers, drawn from both the veterinary faculty and the department of education and extension studies, are trained and used in pairs, to assess and report on staff eligible for promotion. The system has been evaluated by a research assistant funded by the University Funding Council.
