The Faculty experience… • Must solicit student and peer-reviews year round • Circa 2000, first web-based FAS • No self-population • Algorithms calculate workload performance • Viewed with suspicion at best • New FAS used in 2008, ‘09, ’10 • No algorithms, solely reporting • Teaching self-populates for instructor of record • Research self-populates for external funding agencies • Accepted, irritating at worst, takes 1-2 days to fill out • Departmental FAS guide is essential
