过程

定义

"Faculty” is defined as employees 的 the College whose duties are primarily instructional in na真正的. The length 的 full- time faculty contracts (e.g. 12-month, 11 month, 10.5-month, 9-month) shall be assigned by the administration based on the requirements 的 each position. 教职员工也可能有其他被分配的职责。 A full-time faculty member is an employee who allocates 40 小时 per week to the college, which includes time spent (1) teaching, grading, 和 preparing course materials, (2) providing 学生 support, 和 (3) performing institutional service.

An adjunct faculty member is an employee who is hired on a 学期-by-学期 basis, who teaches a limited number 的 courses 和 who is not eligible for institutional benefits. Adjunct faculty are eligible for state benefits based on 学期-by-学期 course load.

教学任务

Teaching assignments shall be determined by 适当的 dean 和 the Vice President 的 Academic Affairs. Teaching assignments shall be made based on section 和 course dem和 和 may include daytime, evening, or weekend classes. Teaching assignments may require faculty to teach at any 皇冠博彩 位置 和 may require faculty to deliver their courses using any approved modality, including but not limited to face-to-face, online, 和 hybrid. All faculty shall be subject to assignment 和 reassignment by the college at any time.

现场的时间

Full-time faculty who do not teach dual credit courses are required to be physically present at their assigned 位置(s) for a minimum 的 27 小时 per week during the fall 和 spring 学期s. These 27 小时 include instructional time 和 the required six in-person 学生 support 小时. Faculty who teach dual credit courses should consult with their dean to create an appropriate schedule.

学生支持时间（以前的办公时间）

During the fall 和 spring 学期s, all full-time faculty members shall be required to maintain at least ten 学生 support 小时 per week to be available to assist 学生s. 10小时中的8小时应安排为学生支持时间。 Faculty are required to provide at least six scheduled in-person 学生 support 小时 each week. Faculty should be available to support 学生s both in person 和 virtually during the six on-位置 学生 support 小时 each week. The remaining two scheduled support 小时 may be 的fered virtually 和 may be scheduled outside 的 normal business 小时. 所需的十个小时中的两个可能是未安排的学生支持时间。 The purpose 的 unscheduled 学生 support 小时 is to better serve the needs 的 学生s who may not be able to participate in 学生 support 小时 in a face-to-face environment or during regularly scheduled times. Faculty may be available for unscheduled 学生 support 小时 via electronic communication or at a 皇冠博彩 位置. Students typically participate in unscheduled 学生 support 小时 via electronic communication.

安排讲座/实验时间

预定的lec真正的/lab 小时 are defined as the amount 的 time a course is scheduled to meet per week in either lec真正的, laboratory, or both. 一个排定的小时定义为50分钟。 Because courses that require both a lec真正的 和 laboratory component require more physical time in the classroom versus courses 的 the same 学期 credit hour that only have a lec真正的 or lab component, those faculty who teach courses that are a combination 的 lec真正的 和 lab may reduce their required 学生 support 小时 by one-half (1/2) 的 the number 的 scheduled 小时 for lab, to a maximum 的 five 小时.

不定期的实验课程：

  • Non-scheduled laboratory courses are defined as courses that may or may not be scheduled at specific times.

  • 教师的职责一般限于布置作业和回答问题。

  • 实验作业可以通过软件在线分配和完成。

  • The laboratory is basically a means to provide the 学生 the necessary information to complete class or homework assignments 和 to give tutorial assistance where needed.

  • Students may complete lab assignments in a computer lab, in the Tutoring Center, or on their personal computers.

这些课程不受学生支持时间减少的限制。

教学工作量

Teaching Load for faculty is defined as the number 的 学期 credit 小时, 最小值为 16 学生 per section, that a faculty member may teach during a 学期. Minimum 和 maximum teaching assignments will differ between full-time 和 adjunct faculty.

小类

小班是指最低入学人数在10人以下的班级。 The institutional average minimum enrollment for classes is 16 学生s, but the institution recognizes certain courses, cohorts, 和 programs may operate below 这 number as a necessity. As such, course sections with an enrollment 的 6 学生s or more shall be paid at the full rate. Courses with fewer than 6 学生s shall be paid at the st和ard rate 1/16th the 每所学校每名学生的预定费用 除非下文另有规定。 For the purposes 的 calculating load, the enrollment 的 all small classes will be consolidated 和 calculated in the following manner:

保护学生 = 1原理图

30的学生 = 2原理图

31 - 45岁的学生 = 3 原理图

实习或合作实习

教师将按每名学生100美元的费率支付，不超过30名学生。 Load for practicums 和 co-ops shall be calculated in the same manner as small courses, regardless 的 total enrollment.

专业领域的教员合同

Faculty contracts in specialized areas (such as 保健专业、防护服务和美容) may reflect different loads related to the unique discipline.

私人指令

Private instruction: $400 per 学生 per 学期 for a full hour lesson 和 $200 per 学生 per 学期 for the 30 minutes lesson. This is based upon the $25/hour rate for 16 weeks. Private instruction courses are considered small courses for the purposes 的 calculating load.
