Additional Items for the COE Faculty Activity Report

2-24-2015

These items are being added to the Faculty Activity Report (FAR) because the information is needed for the COE Strategic Plans and related uses, and it is more efficient to collect all the answers at one time rather than send out separate emails every few weeks.

Note: The items are aggregated by the department head and passed on to the COE Coordinator of Assessment. Connection of data to individual faculty stays at the department level.
