Department of English Criteria for Reappointment, Tenure, and Promotion

Following the newly-adopted Article VIII on Faculty Evaluations in the Rollins College Bylaws of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the English Department expects candidates to make a strong case for being awarded tenure and promotion.  Neither tenure nor promotion is a right, and neither is to be given for work that is merely competent or acceptable.  We support fully the emphasis in the Bylaws on teaching excellence, active scholarship (broadly defined), and college service.  The department's criteria shall be used to evaluate the merits of the application of all candidates for reappointment, tenure, and promotion.

English 140

The goal of 140 is to transition students from their high school writing practices to college level writing, specifically the academic argumentative writing they will be required to do at Rollins.

These resource pages provide basic course information and various pedagogical tools for instructors to help you develop your 140 course.
