UND's new policy lists five basic expectations of all faculty in regard to teaching:

• respect for students
• command of the subject matter
• careful preparation
• effective communication
• continuing professional growth

In most cases, departments will want to specify additional expectations. See the following websites for examples of how departments at other universities articulate their expectations.
