I needed a little boost today as I found out that once again I did not win the coveted Distinguished Instructor Award.
I asked for the rankings/ratings of my dossier and was told by our V.P. academic that there IS NO empirical/quantatative data gathered in the decision making process!!! Which means it is all subjective...
I just wrote an e-mail to the Chair of the selection committee asking for a meeting, so wish me luck. All I really want to know is if I have a chance of EVER winning this award (I am not a tenured professor), as the work involved in the submissions is substantial.
Oh well....
Supposed to be joining MJ for bingo and her birthday gift this evening, maybe I'll hit the jack pot there.
