	Article 1	The implementation details are established in accordance to the Eighth Article of the “Faculty Evaluation Regulations of the College of Liberal Arts, National Taiwan University.”
	Article 2	Each department should compile all their faculty’s academic works and relevant data on teaching and service into a Dossier and submit the Dossier to the College Evaluation Committee for evaluation.
	Article 3	There are two separate reviews: The Dossier Evaluation (70%) and Review by the College Evaluation Committee (30%). Each evaluation will target three areas: Research, Teaching, and Service. Each area is worth a maximum of 100 points. For the majority faculty not under the category of LANGUAGE TEACHER, the final score is tallied based on the following formula: of Research (60%), Teaching (30%), and Service (10%). For LANGUAGE TEACHERS, the formula is: Teaching (70%), Research (20%), and Service (10%). Note that these formulas apply to both the Dossier Evaluation and the College Evaluation Committee Review. The score of the first (Dossier) review constitutes 70% of the final College evaluation score, while the result of the College Evaluation Committee Review makes up the rest 30%.
	Article 4	The scores on Dossier Evaluation are given according to a “base score” plus “accumulated scores”. The RESEARCH performance of the Dossier Evaluation is scored based on the following standards: one superlative journal article is selected and a base score is given according to the category of the journal: 70 points for A-level journals, 60 points for B-level journals, and 50 points for C-level journals. Each additional A-level article is given 20 points, each additional B-level article is given 10 points, and each additional C-level article is given 5 points, calculated until the full score is reached. Works which have received awards from the National Science Council are considered as A-level journal articles. Works which receive the “Distinguished” Research Award from the National Science Council are considered as two A-level journal articles. The categories for other scholarly works such as books, collections of essays, academic book reviews, translations, creative writings, and art performances will be determined by departmental regulations. Art and art-related departments should set down categories of works and achievements according to the Ministry of Education’s “Regulations of Qualification Evaluation for Teachers above the Technical School Level.”
	Article 5	The TEACHING performance of the Dossier Evaluation is scored based on the following formula: Teaching Hours (50%), Student Evaluations (50%). For TEACHING HOURS, a base score of 70 is given to any faculty who meets the contractually required minimum hours: 8 weekly teaching hours for full professors, 9 for associate and assistant professors, and 10 for instructors. 10 points are added for every extra hour taught. Additional 20 points are given for serving as student advisors. Additional 20 points are given for supervising a graduate student, with additional 10 points for supervising each extra graduate student. The sum of the above items is calculated until the full score of 100 points is reached. The final score is the average of all semester scores during the evaluation period. For STUDENT EVALUATIONS, a base score of 70 is given to the evaluation average score of 3. 2 points are added to the base score for an extra of 0.1 evaluation average while 2 points are deducted for an minus of 0.1 evaluation average, and the sum is calculated until the full score of 100 points is reached. The final score is the average of all semester courses evaluations during the evaluation period. Recipients of the University’s Distinguished (傑出) Teaching Award are given a base score of 100 points for the school year while recipients of the University’s Excellent (優良) Teaching Award are given a base score of 90 for the school year. The sum of all items is calculated until the full score of 100 points is reached.
	Article 6	The SERVICE performance of the Dossier Evaluation is scored based on the following criteria: one item of service translates into a base score of 70 points. Each extra item translates into an additional 10 points until the full score is reached.
	Article 7	If there are matters not covered by these details, they should be dealt with according to the Faculty Evaluation Regulations of the College and other relevant regulations of the University.
