Spring Annual Reviews launched for Adjunct Faculty

If you taught as an adjunct faculty member for spring semester, you should have received an email this week with instructions on how to login and begin your annual review through the online Performance system.

The annual review supports of both NMC’s values and the Higher Learning Commission guidelines for accreditation, and:

  • Recognizes and celebrates accomplishments
  • Provides feedback on performance
  • Captures and shares learning that has occurred

The annual review consists of four steps:

  1. Complete your Self-Review (Remember to review your Student Course Evaluations for this step.)
  2. Academic Chair/Designee completes review
  3. Both meet to discuss feedback (ideally in person, but can be done by phone.)
  4. Sign off on meeting and form electronically

Resources and instructions may be found here: employees.nmc.edu/depts/human-resources/employee-resources/adjunct-review/

The timeline for completion is:

  • May 12 – Adjunct Faculty Member completes Self-Evaluation
  • June 30 – Academic Chair/Designee (Reviewer) completes
  • June 30 – Adjunct Faculty Member and Reviewer – Meet and sign off (electronically) that the review is complete

Please watch your NMC email for additional notifications from SilkRoad Performance. You will receive email reminders as the due date nears. All steps must be completed by June 30, 2017.

If you have any questions or would like additional training, please call Lori Hodek at (231) 995-1143 or contact your Academic Chair or Office Manager.
