(REQUIRED FOR REGISTRATION)

General Education check lists and check lists for each concentration are available on the Communications web page: www.una.edu/communications.

Students in the Department of Communications must complete at least 72 hours of coursework from outside the Department of Communications.

At least 53 of the 72 hours should be in approved Arts and Sciences/Liberal Ads classes. A list of approved AS/LA classes is also available on the web

page. COM 243 Aural-Visual Production fuifihls the computer literacy requirement for Communication majors. The Department of Communications

does not accept Crucial Skills in Mathematics (MA 111) to fulfill the general education mathematics requirement.

These are the advisor’s course recommendations. This advice Is based on the following conditions:

1. The student has the responsibility to read the appropriate university catalog (www.una.edu/catalog) and university procedures, and to

comply with university regulations including application for graduation and the graduation audit.

2. The advisor is responsible for making recommendations relating to the student’s chosen academic major. The advisor will not schedule

individual classes. The student, in cooperation with the Registrar’s Office, is responsible for scheduling classes and keeping track of check

sheets and progress toward a degree. Registrar’s web page: www.una.edu/registrar

3. The student will take responsibility if he/she chooses to deviate from the recommended program.

4. Students should obtain advising in a timely fashion prior to registration. Seeking advising without providing the advisor sufficient time to

review student records is likely to reduce the quality of advising.

S. The student should take an active interest in his/her program and progress.

6. The student Is responsible for filing a degree application at the Registrar’s Office two semesters prior to graduation.

PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES APPLICABLE TO ALL COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES FACULTY

(Approved February 1,2012)

All college and departmental guidelines are intended to provide guidance to faculty members seeking to meet the

University’s criteria for tenure and promotion set forth in the Faculty Handbook, sections 2.5.1 - 2.5.4. All facultymembers should familiarize themselves with those principles, which govern the processes and standards for all

departments and colleges of the University. This document is intended to provide clarity to the appropriate

sections of the Faculty Handbook.

As UNA’s largest and most diverse college, the College of Arts and Sciences is composed of seventeen academic

departments encompassing more than twenty disciplines. Methods of demonstrating professional performance

may vary with the traditions and goals of distinct disciplines. Teaching methods vary, as do the forms of scholarly

or artistic performance, but all tenure-track faculty members are expected to demonstrate a pattern of sustainedcumulative accomplishment in teaching, scholarly or creative performance, and service.

All faculty members in the College of Arts and Sciences should recognize the following common expectations:

Teaching is a foundational professional function of faculty members at the University of North Alabama. A record

of demonstrable success in teaching, as a UNA faculty member, is expected of every successful applicant for tenure

or promotion in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Scholarship and creative accomplishment are essential to the academic profession. Every successful candidate fortenure or promotion is expected to provide convincing evidence of a pattern of scholarly or creative

accomplishment appropriate to his or her discipline during the period of employment at UNA. Scholarship shouldinclude research or other forms of intellectual discovery made available to professional peers through publication

and/or presentation beyond this university and the local area. For those in the performing or visual arts, creative

performance should include performances or exhibitions for audiences beyond the local area. Peer review or

review by qualified critics is a proper consideration in the assessment of both scholarship and creative

performance. Departments may consider professional consulting as an appropriate form of scholarship if the

results of the consultation are made available to a professional audience beyond the proprietary interests.

Service is an indispensable element in the professional performance of each UNA faculty member. The operation

of a university is dependent on services provided by its faculty members beyond their classrooms, laboratories,

and studios. Applicants for tenure or promotion are expected to present a record of effective service to the

university, the community, and the profession during their period of employment at UNA.

While previous accomplishments will be recognized, special consideration will be given to accomplishments during

the period of employment at UNA and since the faculty member’s last promotion. In evaluating teaching, scholarly

or creative performance, and service, it is appropriate to consider both the quality and the extent of each element.

Especially in scholarly and creative performance, there are recognized hierarchies of organizations, journals,

publishers, forms of dissemination, and venues for performance or exhibition in each discipline. It is appropriate

to take into account the professional recognition of the instrument or venue through which scholarship or creative

performance is presented.

More specific interpretation is provided by departmental guidelines. Faculty members are invited to discuss

questions or concerns in advance of application for tenure or promotion with the department chair, tenured

members of the department, and the dean.

11. Department of

Communications

Performance Guidelines

Department of CommunicationsPerformance Guidelines

(Revised and Approved April 19, 2004Amended April 2005)

(Retitled February 18, 2014)Approved: April 17, 2009 with amendments

Preamble: The University of North Alabama’s Faculty Handbook (section 3.5.1)indicates that candidates for continuing contracts (tenure) and promotion, will beevaluated by their effectiveness in three general areas—Teaching Effectiveness,Scholarly or Creative Research, and Service. Because of the diverse nature of thedisciplines within the University, however, the Handbook can provide few operationaldefinitions to these terms. In order to provide future applicants, peer review committees,departmental chairs, and other university administrators some perspectives as to how theDepartment of Communications interprets each of these values, this document wasdeveloped.

General:

Under each of the three governing evaluative standards (teaching, scholarship/creativeproduction, and service) the area has suggested some examples of what it believes shouldbe associated with each rank. The examples listed below are mainly for illustrativepurposes. Candidates for tenure and promotion do not have to demonstrate effectives bypossessing every instance listed. Instead, the department visualizes it to be theresponsibility of all applicants to make the strongest possible argument for fulfilling therequirements for tenure and promotion in his/her portfolio. Should applicants believe thatthey have materials not included within these guidelines that also merit consideration, itwill be the candidate’s obligation to make a written case explaining why such evidencemerits contemplation by the reviewers.

It will be the task of the Peer Review Committee, Department Chair, and other universityadministrators to determine how well each applicant has met the criteria listed for thedesired rank or tenure. These evaluators will seek to determine the quality of theexamples selected, the level of documentation provided, and make a global assessmentconcerning the overall candidate’s worthiness for the position or tenure status. Theseindividuals are not, however, bound exclusively to the items listed in this document. Asevaluators, they are free to add additional requirements in individual instances as theydeem appropriate. This document is designed to only explain some of the factors the areafeels are important. It should not be used to restrict the judgmental processes or precludethe inclusion of other criteria that need to be examined.

These guidelines should be employed by potential candidates the semester following theiradoption by a majority vote by the full-time faculty. Each year the Chair of thedepartment will appoint a committee of not less than four full-time faculty members. Thecommittee’s charge will be to review this document and decide whether or not additionsare deletions are merited. All such recommendations are to be submitted to the Chair of

the department by April I and will be considered at the next departmental meeting. Anyapproved amendments will also become effective the semester following adoption by amajority vote of the full-time faculty.

Whenever departmental guidelines are in dispute with the requirements set forth by theUniversity, those stipulated within the Faculty Handbook will supersede those expressedwithin this document.

Presently, the Faculty Handbook in section 3. 5.1 indicates that:

Effectiveness as a Teacher. The individual is judged upon knowledge of subject matter,including current developments; active concern for the students academicprogress; and ability to organize and effectively present and evaluate coursework,including effectiveness in oral and written communication, ability to motivatestudent interest and participation, ability to relate coursework to other fields witha view to broadening the students general awareness, evidence of conscientiouspreparation for all instructional situations, and use of effective methodology andteaching techniques.

Effectiveness in Research. Scholarship, and Other Creative Activities. The individual isjudged upon the quality’ of scholarly attitude, the capacity for independentthought, originality and quality in published and unpublishedcontributions to knowledge, creativeness in approach to new problems,effectiveness in planning for future research and study for himself or herself andfor students, professional recognition of research efforts, and effectiveness in theadministration of research projects.

Effectiveness in Rendering Service. The individual is judged upon recognition in theprofessional field; consultation of high professional quality in business, cultural,educational, governmental, and industrial endeavors; activities in learned andprofessional societies; potential for continuing professional growth; contributionto total university development and growth; performance on committeeassignments; performance on administrative assignments; and contributions tothe improvement of student life.

Tenure:

The Faculty Handbook indicates, “An award of tenure is not a right but a privilege whichmust be earned by a faculty member on the basis of his or her performance during aprobationary period. The granting of tenure is never automatic (3.5.4).” Within theDepartment, it is understood that each individual recommended for tenure will beevaluated based on their current rank. Accordingly, the expectations for tenure vary’depending on the level of the individual’s current appointment Applicants shouldexamine the requirements outlined below and seek to demonstrate their effectiveness inthe examples listed for the corresponding rank.
