Summary Revision of procedures to handle the observation or Faculty self-assessment forms for the Center for Undergraduate Studies (CUGS). The observation forms are e-mailed out to the faculty. They are required to complete them in Excel then return them to a lead faculty member. This is a time consuming procedure that dictates the lead faculty observing each staff members’ performance in the online classroom. The lead faculty affiliate then returns the form to the faculty member. This observation can take up to 6 weeks which is normally the time period in a six week course. Possibly, one solution would be a fair and equitable Human Resource procedure to accomplish this with corresponding feedback? This procedure might also be better accomplished through an online system rather than Excel sheets. Background of Organization In 1971, Walden University began by offering a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree for continuing career orientated professionals.A more formal curriculum was established in 1977 and programs were established in education, business, and government. Doctoral degrees were also established later in related disciplines, including health and human services. In 1982, Walden’s academic office moved from Bonita Springs, Florida to Minneapolis, Minnesota. The North Central Association of Colleges and Schools granted Walden University full regional accreditation status in 1990 about his time Walden started to transform into an online university. (Walden University Student Handbook 2009) Organization’s Clientele The Clientele consists of students, graduates and alumni as well as faculty and administrators of the university ~############# Key Personnel I will try and contact Dr. David Mathieu, Executive Director for the Center of Undergraduate Studies, and my lead faculty observer, Tanaz Arteaga, Math and Science faculty. Another solution would be to utilize survey monkey to see what my fellow instructors’ comments might be. Goals “Walden University provides a diverse community of career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners so that they can effect positive social change as stated in the Student Handbook in 2009.
