Effort Tracking
The Effort Tracking system in myUFL collects information that can be translated into an activity report that captures the amount of time faculty spend on teaching, research and service. This critical report, known as the Faculty & Professional and Non-Academic Activity Report, is used to measure productivity as well as fulfill state and federal legislative requirements.
