Display 0990: Faculty Teaching Load X Term

Note:

1. Before viewing details for individual faculty members, please notice the methodology by which each of the following series of tables is developed automatically from the Registrar's course file. (Tables are subject to errors, if any, contained in the source data file. Such errors typically arise from data entry and/or coding mistakes at the time the class schedule is developed.)

2. Each table below lists each faculty member, University wide, to whom courses are assigned in the Registrar's Banner Course Table for the specified term. All faculty are listed in alpha order. (In some cases, an individual may appear to be dramatically over or under-loaded. Often this results from an academic department assigning a whole set of "Staff" classes to one individual pending employment of an adjunct instructor who teaches the course. If the department then does not update the official course file to reflect the newly hired instructor, the course itself remains credited to the original instructor of record and is so reflected in the following tables.)

Normative
Teaching Load Analysis:

Teaching Load
Policy Compliance Reports:

The Normative Teaching Load Analysis compares individual faculty teaching load to the "norm" or "mean" of all faculty. It is a basic arithmetic calculation--nothing more.

Methodology: to compare teaching loads among faculty and establish an analytical "norm" for benchmark purposes, the following method is used to develop the "work load index".

1. The work load index itself is calculated as follows:
                  number of courses taught
           X    total course credit hours taught
           X    total student credit hours taught
                          divided by 1000.

2. Four purposes of further calculations, the mean and standard deviation of a full-time teaching load were derived from the average of all full-time instructors over the prior 5 years for which detailed data are available. (Note, therefore adjunct faculty or full-time faculty with reduced teaching loads in favor of other assignments are credited by design with less than a normal teaching load.)

3. Index Color Code Guide:
      a. Blue index number indicates a teaching load within a single standard deviation above or below the mean (or average). About 68% of the faculty fall in this range.
      b. Red index number indicates a teaching load more than one standard deviation below the mean. About 11% of the full time teaching faculty fall in this range along with all adjuncts.
      c. Green index number indicates a teaching load greater than one standard deviation above the mean. About 11% of the full time teaching faculty fall in this range.

4. The % of Seats Occupied is based on the number of students enrolled divided by the maximum course capacity, a number fixed in the Registrar's course file by the department at the time the class schedule is developed.

5. Seats Occupied Color Code Guide:
     a. Blue % indicates 50-100% of the maximum course capacity in assigned courses, as established by department.
     b. Red % indicates below 50% of maximum course capacity in assigned courses.
     c. Purple % indicates error; courses filled beyond capacity (likely, capacity was recorded in error)

The Policy Compliance Reports compare each faculty member's individual teaching load for a term to the load indicated in the faculty handbook as a full-time teaching load.

1. Guidelines:

a. Policy indicates 420 SCH = full-time, lower division or learning support teaching load.

b. Policy indicates 300 SCH = full-time, upper division teaching load.

c. Policy indicates 200 SCH = full-time, graduate teaching load.

2. Methodology: Report calculates % of full-time load at each level and then adds the % for each level to sum an overall % of a full-time teaching load.

3. Teaching Load Color Code Guide:

a. Blue % indicates a load falling within a 15% range above or below a policy-based full-time load.

b. Green % indicates a load greater than 15% above a policy-based full-time load.

c. Red % indicates a load less than 15% below a policy-based full-time load.
