Instructions to Art Faculty for Completing the Out Essays

Instructions to Art Faculty for Completing the Outline of Faculty Data (OFD) How to use this document: . Insure that the Word feature "Comments" is on. There are instructions and tips within the document to help you. How you access Comments depends on the version of Word that you have. . Throughout this template formatted, placeholder text in NON-bold parentheses is to be replaced with the required information. Just swipe (select) the placeholder text, including the parentheses, and type in your content. Be careful not to swipe anything beyond the parentheses or you may adversely affect the formatting. If you are copying and pasting type from another document, or from within the OFD, a clipboard icon will appear near where you have pasted. Click on the icon and select "Match Destination Formatting" to apply the correct formatting. Anything that is outside of parentheses is to be left as is, and answered where required. When a category does not apply to you type N/A. Delete unused placeholder text. When entering data in tables, if you require additional rows for more entries select the existing last row and then select from the main menu: Table>Insert>Rows Below. . Whenever possible use columned lists or bulleted lists. Fewer pages in the OFD are preferable to more pages, so save space when possible. Use rhetorical, descriptive text only when required. However, the contents of columned-lists or bulleted-lists may also include more than just the facts; text describing the listed item may be helpful. In categories that might use either, or both, lists and rhetorical text, a placeholder version of both has been provided. The version of placeholder text in a given category is what is the most likely version required. If, however, you require something different, feel free to copy and paste another version of placeholder text. Not all categories require a separate column of dates or a column just for international, national, or regional. These columned-lists are most appropriate for certain categories under research and service, which is why you won't find them elsewhere. . You do NOT enter anything in the Teaching sub-category, "Teaching as Evaluated by Students and Peers". Copies of your teaching evaluations will be added to your folder by the art office. . Place published reviews of YOUR work in the Research sub-category, "Honors Received and Recognition for Research, Scholarship, Creative Activity:". Rather than follow the prior departmental practice of creating a new and additional category titled "Bibliography", just include reviews, acknowledgments, or mention of your research or creative activity in the existing category "Honors Received and Recognition for Research, Scholarship, Creative Activity".
