-
Plan early and align unit faculty committees to the needs of the self-assessment.
-
Identify and include key people who may be out at the time of the site visit e.g., sabbatical.
-
The APR staff support team is available to help, but you do need to get on their calendars early. Ensure that committee chairs know who is available to support them.
-
Adequately include lecturers, staff, postdocs, and students in the process.
-
Include appropriate information related to undergraduate experiences, learning outcomes, and curriculum assessments.
Overlooking concerns within the unit and hoping they will not surface during the site visit is not advisable. To the extent possible, please identify all issues and challenges in your self-study or communicate these verbally to the external reviewers through the Department’s Dean or, for Schools, through the Vice Provost for the Faculty.
