Summary

Participating on a peer committee can be daunting. Interpretations of departmental criteria often vary, even among peer committee members.

A guide to BEST PRACTICES in peer evaluation could resolve a lot of questions, and would go a long way toward ensuring that evaluative processes are executed consistently across our campus.

UMaine’s Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs & Provost, Dr. Jeff Hecker, has developed a training module that will help departments streamline the peer review process to facilitate fair outcomes.
