Full-time Faculty members who teach directed individual study (DIS) methods beyond their regular contracted teaching load shall be compensated per student per credit hour according to the table below. Classes with sixteen (16) or more students will be paid at the standard class rate. Directed Independent Study (DIS) allows students to take regular TCC courses on an individual or small group basis. It is intended to be used in exceptional circumstances, such as taking a course required for graduation during a term when the course is not offered as a scheduled class. It must adhere to the same standards, competencies and content as the regularly scheduled class. DIS is a mode of instruction where the student assumes the major responsibility for completing the independent study with guidance of the instructor. The instructor is expected to meet weekly at a scheduled time (minimum of 50 minutes per week) with the student(s) to discuss new content, review previously discussed content, and provide assignments and student experiences. The instructor is also expected to maintain office hours in addition to the weekly scheduled meeting time. Full-time Faculty members who teach continuing education classes that are aligned with their academic preparation and are beyond their regular contracted teaching load shall be compensated per student per credit hour according to the table below. Clock hour load shall be compensated per student according to the clock hour rate in the table below.
