Teaching Assignment/Faculty Load Clause Samples

The TEACHING ASSIGNMENT/FACULTY LOAD clause defines the expectations and requirements regarding the number and type of courses or instructional duties assigned to faculty members. It typically outlines the standard teaching load per semester or academic year, specifies any variations for different ranks or departments, and may address adjustments for research, administrative duties, or special assignments. This clause ensures clarity in workload distribution, helps manage faculty responsibilities fairly, and prevents misunderstandings about teaching obligations.
Teaching Assignment/Faculty Load. Faculty teaching load is calculated in terms of load hours. The number of load hours credited for most courses is equal to the credit hours assigned to the course. Exceptions to this, as specified in current practice, are as follows: 1. Writing courses (WR) carry one additional load hour per course. 2. Student teaching supervision for one-term undergraduates is equal to 2/3 load hour for placements within 30 minutes travel distance of the supervising faculty member's home campus. For placements beyond the 30 minute driving radius, an additional load adjustment will be made. Student teaching supervision for full-year graduate MTE students is equal to 1 load hour. The same distance assumptions apply. 3. Science Labs utilize a 1.0 load factor (that is, a 3 hour lab is counted as 3 load hours). No adjustment is made for multiple sections since the load is related to student numbers and individual help outside of lab as well as time required for lab preparation and tear down. Additionally, science laboratory instructors are required to attend to safety and waste disposal issues.

The same distance assumptions apply. Music Labs and Art Labs utilize a 2/3 load factor (that is, a 3 hour lab is counted as 2 load hours or 3 x 2/3 = 2. No adjustment is made for multiple sections since the load is related to student numbers and individual help outside of lab as well as time required for lab preparation.

These utilize a 2/3 load factor (that is, three half-hour private lessons = one load hour). Music, Large ensemble (i.e. symphony, choir) = 2 load hours Music, Small ensemble (i.e. jazz combo, brass) = 1 load hour Studio Art classes utilize a 0.75 load factor (i.e. a 5 credit art class in studio arrangement meets 8 hours per week thus 0.75 x 8 = 6 load hours) Theatre Lab-type courses utilize a load factor range of 1 to 1.67. (i.e. THEA 255, 355 Rehearsal & Performance is taught together and is calculated as: 2 credit x 1.5 = 3 load hours. THEA 250,251, 252 Acting I, II, III is 4 credits x 1.25 = 5 load hours. THEA 264 Set Construction, THEA 265 Lighting and THEA 266 Costume is 3 credits x 1.3 = 4 load hours.) The load factor is assigned by the ▇▇▇▇ of the College of Arts and Sciences in consultation with theatre program faculty. Such courses as Practicum (209, 409), non-laboratory based Student Research (401), Art 426 etc. are assigned load hours on an individual basis, generally, for Arts and Sciences, one load hour per six (6) students. For Education, Business Administration, and Physical E...
