Faculty will complete the first evaluation of each student on the roster for each applicable course on that spreadsheet by the mid-term due date. The same process is repeated for the final collection. In the time between mid-term and final dispositions collections, the Assessment Coordinator will make contact with any students averaging lower than 2.5 and any who received a 1 in any category. Faculty will be updated and asked to provide additional information in any instances requiring further action. Should a TEC Dispositions Sub- Committee be warranted, the Assessment Coordinator will arrange meetings and communications between the committee and the candidate. Dispositions will be discussed on Assessment Day each term to determine whether further intervention is needed for any candidates. Any serious concerns should be emailed immediately to the Assessment Coordinator.
