FROM THE ACADEMIC
DESK
Ben
Myers is currently undergoing his five yearly performance review. The aim
of the review is to offer Ben feedback on the quality of his work and allow for
planning his professional development and career opportunities through the
College and the University. The review is not about whether Ben continues
to work here! That is guaranteed – this exercise is solely about the
quality of his performance. Students who have been taught by Ben are
being contacted to send in comments. These comments are to go to the
College Secretary as part of a confidential, indeed ‘blind’, process. The
College Secretary will receive and collate the responses. Then all
original sheets will be shredded, and no names will be able to be associated
with any particular statements. No record of respondents will be kept
once the closing date for responses has been reached.
