<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif">Summary: I am looking for one faculty member to volunteer for service on a new committee. The job comes with $1,500 in extra salary.</span></i></b></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif">Jen Roberts, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Graduate Studies, is establishing the inaugural edition of the Assessment of Student Learning Committee. This committee is charged
with scoring learning artifacts for institutional learning goals. Training for the committee will take place this semester and the scoring will commence next semester. All participants will receive a $1,500 overload payment, and Jen also provided the following
estimate of the workload:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">“Fall 2021 - 2-4 hours of training workshop.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">January 2022 - artifact assignments are given. 3-4 weeks to complete and submit scoring. I can’t really tell how long this will take (and will vary by individual) but I think it will be similar to P&T and Sabbatical.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">March 2022 - 2-4 hour meeting to go over data and craft feedback to campus.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">The ultimate workload is going to be dependent on statistically how many artifacts need to be scored. We have 10 committee members as a way to defray the workload.”</p>
