Faculty,

Teaching Observation: it’s that time in the semester.  Do you have to be observed?  If you don’t have to be observed, can you request to be observed?  If your teaching is partially online and asynchronous: can you choose in what sub-modality to be observed?  What is the observation process about?  What exactly is the observer going to look at during the observation?...
