It helps when the teacher can solveproblems and knows the material – thus the leader should convey a coherent set of expectationsthat will be evaluated during in-class visits. These standards should make sense to the facultymember, establish an appropriate environment for learning, and that mirror the concerns of thestudents. The following are some points to consider: 1. Technical expertise – command of the subject matter. 2. Lesson organization. a. Learning objectives. b. Organization of the presentation

The relevanceof various laboratory strength tests with actual field conditions for different types of loading are shown byKulhawy and Mayne 1.

Related to tenure, although technically using a different standard, is promotion.

This activity was shortened and some of the more technical materialeliminated. Another early activity was a summer session marketing class taught by the businessschool. This was eliminated (and replaced with targeted marketing experiences) because thecourse was oriented toward large established businesses rather than start-up companies.Likewise, activities that were highly rated were retained. One example is the interview with anengineering alumnus who is now a patent attorney. This has consistently been rated high byparticipants. Many other examples could be given. As
