GRAD700: Reflections on Faculty Research Expectations

Review the Carnegie classification activity you completed in the Introductory module.  What are the research expectations/requirements for the category of institution you are most interested in?  You can do this by picking one example college/university you would be interested in working for, and then conducting more in-depth study such as by reviewing research expectation documents or the tenure guidelines of for the institution (sometimes published on the institution’s website), looking up 2-3 CVs of faculty members at the selected institutions and examining their research productivity, or discussing research expectations with a faculty member at the institution.  In a brief blog post (<250 words), discuss what you learned about the research expectations.  How has it changed the way you plan to prepare for an academic career?  Title your blog post something like “Reflections on Faculty Research Expectations” and don’t forget to categorize or tag your post as “PFF Summer 2015.”
