The evaluation of academic and academic-administrative performance is a tool to improve the activity of professors, and it is focused on qualifying the integral assignment of the teacher on teaching, research, and administration based on their programs pre-established work. It has educational purposes and seeks to preserve and promote excellence, fulfillment of academic work and permanent commitment.

The evaluation will be applied by the Faculty Councils or the Regionalization Council, as the culmination of a process that begins in the academic unit where the teacher is assigned. The evaluation will give an account of the teacher's performance in different activities of his Work Plan, agreed at the beginning of each academic period according to the academic assignment criteria.

Given that multiple activities converge in the teaching practice and teachers' work plans are heterogeneous, the University has defined guidelines in different regulations for evaluating the teachers' performance in all the activities they carry out.

 Probation period teachers' performance evaluation

During the first year of employment under the designation modality, teachers are considered on a probationary period; teachers' performance must be evaluated two (2) months before the end of the first year of employment for definitive hiring by designation.

With the Resolution No. 115 of November 28, 2001, the Academic Council regulated the Probation period teachers' performance evaluation. With such regulation, it was given an instruction to specify the procedure to observe, and the evaluation tools with the poundages assigned to each activity.
