The primary goal in making faculty assignments is to have as much equity as possible in the total effort required of faculty. Therefore, when faculty are assigned a teaching assignment in excess of the norms specified above their extraordinary assignment will be addressed through an equivalent reduction in noninstructional assignments or by providing additional compensation in accordance with section 10.3. The following definitions shall be used to determine the number of credit hours assigned to each course. Classroom instruction typically generates rather frequent exams or papers to be graded by faculty outside the classroom. Laboratory instruction involves the practical application of theory through demonstration, experimentation, group work, programmed instruction, and research.
Students typically submit a report to the instructor for grading.
Methods of shop or clinical instruction include drill, field experience, simulation, practice, and study time. Students are typically graded on how well they perform the tasks assigned rather than through outside assignments. The Union-Management Committee at each College shall be responsible for forming a committee which shall be comprised of faculty and administrators. The precise composition, structure, authority, meeting schedule, and future existence of each committee shall be determined according to needs at the local level. The purpose of the committee is to explore creative, cost-effective means of alleviating unreasonable workload demands of faculty.
