Course Preparations. No teacher shall be required to take more than three (3) different preparations per semester without notification and consultation with the teacher before the previous semester ends.

Course Preparations. A. A course preparation shall be defined as a three (3) credit hour or higher course. A course that includes a lecture and clinical supervision will be considered a prep only for those Bargaining Unit Members assigned the lecture component. In any academic year, multiple sections of the same course shall be considered one (1) prep. Multiple courses taught at the same time by any one Bargaining Unit Member shall be considered one (1) prep.
B. No later than three (3) weeks prior to the start of an academic term faculty members may request the Department Chairperson to change their course assignments among those available on the department schedule which they are qualified to teach if they have been assigned more than three (3) preparations in a semester and the other Bargaining Unit Members in the department do not exceed three (3) preparations in the semester as a result of the change.

However, if the objective cannot be attained, the instructor either may agree to take more than three (3) preparations or agree to take a reduced teaching load at a partial contract.
Course Preparations. A course preparation includes all activities an instructor may engage in to prepare for presenting subject materials to students in a course. Course preparation is an integral part of instructional activities. Nine (9) course preparation credits each semester are included in the base work load and will not qualify for overload compensation. Employees will be compensated for each course preparation credit in excess of nine (9) each semester at the rate of three-tenths (3/10) Instructional Unit for each course preparation credit. One preparation credit equals one course credit-hour for distinct class activities as follows:
a. Approved standard courses (excluding 270's, 280's, and 290's) with distinct course numbers.
b. Approved standard courses with distinct course titles indicating a substantial difference in course subject matter or content and not simply a variation in the manner of presentation.
c. All assigned fieldwork (270's) experience under a particular discipline designation will be counted as a single course preparation credit.
d. Special projects (280's) will be counted as standard courses EXCEPT when the subject matter covered is essentially the same as another course assignment, a portion of a course or a combination of courses.
e. Independent studies and prior learning evaluation (290's) will be given preparation credit ONLY when the subject matter is substantially different from a standard course (or other 280 or 290) included in the employees’ assignment AND the independent study/prior learning evaluation was assigned by the Employer as part of the employees’ regular load.
