Each table was asked to assign an appraiser, an appraisee and a presenter who would explain their work. As they rate based on the criteria, they could write comments on what they have observed and later present it during the discussion part.
Due to time constraints, only the academic appraisal form was done and an open forum followed. One of the major concerns was the staff evaluation by peers as raised by Mr Abdullah Al-Shukeily and Dr Maryam Al-Ghafri.
Dr Hamdan explained that restrictions like closed circle for peers would be done but only later on, when the picture becomes clear. It would be level wise for ELC and section wise for D/C. Mr Abdullah was requested to come up with a software and explain how to do it.
Ms Nawal asked about student evaluation. Ms Laly explained that student semestral feedback would be kept and the average score would be taken.
Other concerns were about Mr Nasser’s query on how a newly joined staff would rate senior staff. On the other hand, Mr Omar asked about how to know a person’s interest.
It was agreed that additional feedback would be emailed and the deadline for submission was the next day, Thursday, 10 October 2019.
Survey about the workshop was taken by Dr Abdulsalam through Mentimeter. The survey results show that the workshop helped the participants in understanding the importance of the implementation of the 360 Degree Staff Appraisal System.
