Employee Name: David Holding
Position: Associate Professor
Review Time Period: 3/30/01 - 2/4/02
Purpose:
DeVry’s success depends upon
meeting or exceeding Financial, Educational, Administrative, Human Resources
and Marketing goals and objectives. Our
work is a collective effort, and each of us should be an active participant in
continuously improving DeVry as well as ourselves.
As an active participant in
this process, your self-appraisal is an extremely important part, and a
critical step in the performance management process.
Through this process, there should be mutual recognition between you
and your manager that responsibilities interact to accomplish shared
accountabilities, goals, and objectives.
It also links performance to
department or project and company goals, and invites shared participation in
individual performance objectives. This
process is forward-looking in that it focuses on your goals and objectives for
the coming year as well as the longer-term strategic plan of DeVry Inc.
Self-Appraisal Instructions:
There are two parts to this evaluation.
Part A pertains to the
faculty job responsibilities as outlined in the faculty job description (Ref,

ACCOUNTABILITY:
Instructional – Preparation
Appraisal: Write your key
accomplishments and performance plan. Be
ready to discuss these items in full detail during your performance appraisal
meeting. Be sure to address
progress on developmental needs identified in last year’s performance
evaluation. Space has been
left for your manager’s comments.
o I’ve continued to develop the HTTP interface for the two courses I teach: TCM130 & TCM250. I’ve gotten further with TCM130 than TCM250 because of the length of time I’ve worked with each course and my understanding of and between the two.
o My presentation at Tech Expo this year was on the TCM130 term project. This provided a presentation and discussion session with peer educators.
o As the Primary for TCM250, I’ve gotten the small group motivated towards course development. I’d like to thank Judson Meirs, Lynn Risley and Irwin Acosta for helping with the BTA and Router segments respectively.
o TCM250 needs to make a strong leap into using Internet based collaboration.
o I still have struggles with compressing all the material that has fallen into TCM250 into a 15-week term. This course needs to be better outlined and timed. It’s perplexing.
o There is no collaboration in TCM130. As with TCM250, this last term’s challenges cause TCM130 to fall shorter than I wanted with the material covered. I’ve bounced my ideas off Ron Suptic and received minimal acknowledgements only.
o I have had collaboration interests from Steve Singleton, Fran Fletcher, Judson Meirs, and Lynn Risley. However, I do not feel that collaboration is at the level it could or should be.
o As the Primary for TCM250, I’d like to develop a central point for collaboration and instruction.
o I’ll continue to develop the TCM130 course. I have divided it into three sections (Historical Overview & Future, Foundations in Electronic Communications, and Foundations in Standards, Organizations & BTAs) and will be working with my team on TCM250 to organize it in a similar manner.
o I’d like to have all the team members of TCM250 survey each other’s classes and do developmental sessions for the course involving professors and ASC.

meeting. Be sure to address

evaluation. Space has been
left for your manager’s comments.
o My best instructional delivery probably occurred this last term in TCM130. I traced the history of the industry on the board in time-line format.
o I still try to use a variety of delivery techniques. I’m still avid of hands-on and think that some courses should have a variable lab time.
o It’s been a challenge getting TCM250 to function coherently. It may be that I like to know more about what’s going on in detail that I currently do. Then again, this last term has over-taxed my time commitment ability. I want to elevate the “awareness” of the team as a whole during the next year. This would also be nice to include cross-disciplines with professors in general education.
o Although I know my electronics, the TCM130 electronic section seems to be getting more of a challenge.
o I’d like to work with Judson Miers and the two General Education professors mentioned earlier with charting vertical and horizontal fit between course and program out TCOs.
o There’s got to be something else to do, I just can’t put my finger on it right now.
Appraisal: Write your key accomplishments and performance plan. Be ready to discuss these items in full detail during your performance appraisal meeting. Be sure to address progress on developmental needs identified in last year’s performance evaluation. Space has been left for your manager’s comments.
o Determined to increase “learning opportunity” in the courses and provide a buffer for missed office and instruction time during the last term, I provided a “three strikes chance.” I hoped that students would take opportunity to study for a second and third go, utilize the ASC and other resources. The opportunity was used and the ASC was used more often; however, I’ll have to tighter criteria for the second term use.
o As the Primary for TCM250, I request that TCM250 instructors use the developed outline format and written grading sheet for lab reports and other written assignments. I hope to get a quick and effective method of written evidence to use with assessment and course development. I have yet to meet with members to discuss the use if any and effectiveness, but hope to do so during break or very early in the term.
o Family became a priority during this last evaluation. The two items mentioned above (three strikes and written evidence) did produce more grading than normal; however, Steve Fenske, the FA and ASC departments took up a lot of work (even during their downsizing) for tutoring, testing and grading.
o I’ve continued to work with the Excel grading sheet, but I would like to move to a database system using the new scantron and written grading method.
o
I’d like to get a unified grading method for the TCM250 course
across regular and accelerated programs.
ACCOUNTABILITY:
Student Interaction
Appraisal: Write your key accomplishments and performance plan. Be ready to discuss these items in full detail during your performance appraisal meeting. Be sure to address progress on developmental needs identified in last year’s performance evaluation. Space has been left for your manager’s comments.
o I’m not sure how well I am doing here. I did provide a “check-off” of the course objectives, but it fell off this term due to too too much stuff going on and scrambling my brain.
o I did ask one of the classes to please provide constructive criticism on the professor evaluation. Wait and see.
o ?
o The number of individuals verses the number of hours in a week: time-student ratio.
o Getting rattled and sidetracked; especially, during the last term.
o Learning names and faces.
o
Develop some class tools that will allow me to interact with all
the students during the term. Simple
things like a name pool that allows me to call each student once as the names
are used for quizzes and reviews.

o Everything in this section from last year’s evaluation has been relieved.
o I am working as the Primary for TCM250 and only have tribal knowledge of the responsibilities and powers of this position; however, I have accomplished a few development meetings and efforts with the team.
o I feel like a figurehead under TCM250. I’m not as aware as I’d like to be and don’t feel that change is occurring as best it could.
o I find it hard to fit course objectives within in the program without interaction from other course primaries.
o Build better teaming efforts and effectiveness with the help of IT.
o Survey the other TCM250 classes.
o Encourage if I cannot enforce better sharing of materials and communications.

o I utilized and completed two courses at Keller towards my Masters and to produce a report concerning the TCM assessment efforts. I wanted to provide a battle plan to start mechanisms that would provide for course improvement and assessment measurements.
o I’ve considered what I want in the long run. I’m still interested in telecommunications in general and training; however, I am still disappointed on not having a solid telecommunications background specific to the TCM Program.
o I had a lot of Bravo Zulus (kudos) up till my paper; then, there was no direct feedback after I submitted it, twice. This with other things amplified my frustration and depression towards the end of this period.
o I’ve frequently examined my current position and goals in my overall life. More especially, since the death of my Aunt Helen and family obligations, I have been trying to understand what opportunities and obstacles this will have from here out.
o My stress level during the last term is unacceptable; however, there is little DeVry can do to help.
o For some time now, I’ve preached to students that they should take opportunity in the skills and knowledge they obtain each term and make a profit from it. The TCM130 project has produced such success stories and examples. I have decided to advance further on my words and expand my own home area network and the services.
o Hopefully, this year, I will return to studies for my Masters. If I do, I intend to enroll in the “IT Leadership” program at Rockhurst. I am very interested in a strong functional foundation in hardware/software elements; thus, I will still endeavor to keep applicable certifications in mind.
Appraisal: Review your previous performance review and professional development plan. Comment on activities related to this plan. Also use this space to make any additional relevant comments or highlight additional professional activities. Be ready to discuss these items in full detail during your performance appraisal meeting. Be sure to address progress on developmental needs identified in last year’s performance evaluation. Space has been left for your manager’s comments.
o I do not have a copy of my Professional Development hours. I returned them to include my Master-level course hours.
o This year, in reference to the TCM250 course, the team made progress on developing a functional lab model.
o Some specific struggles within and with the DeVry system, a national tragedy and personal family situations struck my professional development momentum causing me to stop and think about what is important.
o I’d like to get the TCM250 lab model assembled and running; ultimately, integrated with the other TCM courses. The model should be up and working all the time and only allow students to examine, observe, and troubleshoot problems.
o I have two book reviews scheduled, which should provide information into current information and some other benefits.
o This period, I had an extra amount of reason to reevaluate my general priorities in life: myself, GOD, family, and employer.
