| Abstract | This report discusses the types of quantitative metrics used to evaluate academic departments. It is pointed out that highly aggregated measures, the ones most commonly used, usually provide little insight into the actual "performance" of departments. More precise metrics are needed, ones that nevertheless can be understood quickly and obtained with reasonable effort. Metrics are discussed for the areas of Research/Scholarship, Service, Teaching, Space Ultilization, Courses, and Support Activities. To demonstrate the possibilities for better metrics, 15 visual metrics are given in the areas of Research/Scholarship (3), Teaching (4), Courses (2) and Space (6). These examples are actual data for the Department of Computer Sciences at Purdue University. |
