Faculty Corner

 

If you are joining our faculty (TAs, GAs & Lecturers included!) for the first time, please read through the Guidebook for New Faculty below. It contains general information on who to contact for parking and email and much, much more. We encourage all faculty to subscribe to the Faculty listserv as well.

For information on greensheet language, plagiarism reporting and instructory composition assessment, see the various teaching sections.

For the Peer Review form and information for Unit 3, Lecturers & GA/TAs, see the RTP section.

If a form needs to be added or any section needs to be further developed, please contact the Department ( english@sjsu.edu ). It's our hope that this Faculty Corner will eventually thrive with Best Practices for Pedagogy and other things to help you with your time in our Department.
