Specific Charge for 2024-2025 Academic Year
The committee will research best practices in the peer review of teaching at USC Schools and at other universities and propose a few models that are 1) meaningful and helpful to faculty, 2) effective, 3) practical (i.e. can be done in a reasonable amount of time and effort), and 4) customizable for use by faculty at all USC schools. The Center for Excellence in Teaching (CET) will work to provide the resources needed to implement and support the proposed models at USC Schools.
