There are two types of supporting Materials: Required and Optional

Supporting Materials Instruction
  1. All numeric student evaluation summary forms for courses listed on the P&T CV. The absence of student numeric evaluations for specific courses must be justified. Under Regents’ and university policy, quantitative student evaluations are required. Place the student evaluation summary reports in reverse chronological order (most recent semester first) and save them in one pdf file named: Lastname, FirstInitial Student Eval Summaries.pdf in the folder Supporting Materials/Required/Student Eval Summaries.
    • NOTE: Student evaluation summaries must be submitted electronically in reverse chronological order.
  2. In addition, all original student evaluation forms with comments must be included if student comments are part of the review at the department or school/college level. NOTE: These do not need to be in electronic format, and you may submit photocopies, but not both. Other candidates may also choose to include the student comment pages from teaching evaluations in their materials, but if they do so, must include all comment pages from all classes. If the comments are required, you may submit them electronically or as photocopies, but not both. Electronic files may be submitted in one pdf (without blank pages) for each course with the filename: Lastname, FirstInitial Student Comments Course.pdf.
    • NOTE: If student comments are not required for review at the department or school/college level, candidates may choose to submit them following the procedure above. All comments from all courses must be included.
  3. Peer evaluations of teaching from the time of appointment, or from the last promotion, per FSRR 6.2.2. which states that “The evaluation of teaching includes consideration of […] peer and student evaluations;” (For more information on developing peer observations, please see the Center for Teaching Excellence’s website: https://cte.ku.edu/peer-evaluation.) You may submit the peer evaluations electronically or as photocopies, but not both. Electronic files may be submitted in one pdf with the filename: Lastname, FirstInitial Peer Evaluations.pdf.
  4. One copy of all published or completed work since last promotion or since KU appointment (as appropriate). If pre-KU works are considered by outside reviewers, one copy of each of those works should also be included. Electronic copies of publications (journal articles, book reviews, book chapters, etc.) in PDF format are required, but authored or edited books may be submitted in hard copy if electronic copies are not available. Create one electronic file per publication, appropriately named, with file names limited to a maximum of twenty-five characters. Provide full bibliographic information for the work within each electronic file. Do not submit works in which your scholarship or creative activity is merely cited. Large portfolios of artwork and music scores may be submitted where necessary, though CDs or DVDs of such work are preferred. Works submitted electronically may be grouped by folder name. Please see example on page four. Please do not duplicate documents in hard and electronic copy.
