Academic Work Sample Clauses

The 'Academic Work' clause defines the rules and expectations regarding work produced in an academic context, such as research papers, projects, or other scholarly outputs. Typically, this clause clarifies ownership of intellectual property, the permitted use of academic materials, and any obligations related to publication or disclosure. Its core function is to establish clear boundaries and responsibilities for both parties, thereby preventing disputes over rights to academic creations and ensuring compliance with institutional or sponsor requirements.

Academic Work. 36.3.1 The scope of academic work includes teaching, research, administration and service to the University and broader community. This requires flexibility in work patterns to match teaching and research requirements and individual interests. 36.3.2 Academic workload is a combination of assigned and self-directed tasks. 36.3.3 The workload allocated to a full time academic staff member should not exceed an average of 37.5 hours per week averaged over a calendar year (1725 hours per annum). An employee may be appointed on a fractional basis to work a faction of a full time workload. 36.3.4 To assist early career academics to establish a research track record these employees will, as far as possible, not have administrative roles. 36.3.5 The University recognises that the ratio of Students (EFTSU) to non casual staff (non-casual FTE) with teaching duties is a measure of the demand on staff time. The University recognises that if this is allowed to increase unreasonably it can compromise the quality of the University’s teaching and research programs. The University will use its best endeavours to ensure reasonable workload.

Academic Work. The following work and activities will be included when determining the allocation of academic workloads: 34.6.1 Contact Hours Contact hours include: • Lectures and Lectorials; • Tutorial classes; • Seminars; • Workshops and practical classes; • Supervision of field-work and professional placement; • Professional assessment. 34.6.2 Contact hours including tutorials, for teaching through flexible delivery, block mode or professional programs taught will be at least the same as for an equivalent subject taught through face-to-face methods. Where contact is delivered through online delivery, and the delivery is via recorded medium, contact hours will be counted for the development of the recording and not the delivery to students. 34.6.3 Higher Degree Research Supervision is allocated at the rate of 42 contact hours per annum per advisory team. The allocation is divided among the team based on the percentage of supervision load each advisor undertakes. The primary advisor load should normally be at least 60% (i.e. 25 contact hours) but may be 50%. For the purpose of this calculation, an advisory team should consist of at least two and no more than 4 advisors. Honours students and coursework postgraduate students with a significant research project count as a fraction equivalent to the proportion of their assessment devoted to the project. 34.6.4 Learning and Teaching – related duties include, but are not limited to: • Preparation or revision of teaching materials including for various modes of delivery; • Subject development, including in a new mode of delivery and adaption where the subject is new to the staff member; • Teaching taking into account the number of enrolled students, mode of delivery, work-integrated learning, clinical components or laboratory classes. • Travel associated with teaching (up to a maximum of 7 hours per day); • Co-ordination of subjects, or courses or the first year experience; • Supervision and support of teaching staff, including casual and sessional staff; • Supervision of honours year, research students and undergraduate students undertaking research projects or fieldwork; • Preparing, marking and moderation of student assessment, including thesis revision; • Student consultation; • Organisation and supervision of student placements; • Organisation, preparation and supervision of fieldwork for teaching, including work needed to gain or retain any qualifications required; • Clinical supervision and related duties; • Agreed or m...

Such QI activities must include processes to monitor the extent to which Members are able to access mental health services across SMHS and NSMHS, and Covered Service utilization. The Parties must document these QI activities in policies and procedures.

  • Design Development Phase 1.3.1 Based on the approved Schematic Design Documents, model(s) and any adjustments to the Program of Requirements, BIM Execution Plan or Amount Available for the Construction Contract authorized by the Owner, the Architect/Engineer shall prepare, for approval by the Owner and review by the Construction Manager, Design Development Documents derived from the model(s) in accordance with Owner’s written requirements to further define and finalize the size and character of the Project in accordance with the BIM Execution Plan, “Facility Design Guidelines” and any additional requirements set forth in Article 15. The Architect/Engineer shall review the Design Development documents as they are being modeled at intervals appropriate to the progress of the Project with the Owner and Construction Manager at the Project site or other location specified by Owner in the State of Texas. The Architect/Engineer shall utilize the model(s) to support the review process during Design Development. The Architect/Engineer shall allow the Construction Manager to utilize the information uploaded into Owner’s PMIS to assist the Construction Manager in fulfilling its responsibilities to the Owner. 1.3.2 As a part of Design Development Phase, Architect/Engineer shall accomplish model coordination, aggregation and “clash detection” to remove conflicts in design between systems, structures and components. Architect/Engineer shall utilize Owner’s PMIS to accomplish model coordination and collaborate with Construction Manager in the resolution of critical clashes identified by the Construction Manager. Architect/Engineer shall demonstrate and provide written assurance to Owner that conflicts/collisions between models have been resolved. 1.3.3 The Architect/Engineer shall review the Estimated Construction Cost prepared by the Construction Manager, and shall provide written comments. 1.3.4 Before proceeding into the Construction Document Phase, the Architect/Engineer shall obtain Owner’s written acceptance of the Design Development documents and approval of the mutually established Amount Available for the Construction Contract and schedule. 1.3.5 The Architect/Engineer shall prepare presentation materials including an animation derived from the model(s) as defined in “Facility Design Guidelines” at completion of Design Development and if so requested shall present same to the Board of Regents at a regular meeting where scheduled within the state. 1.3.6 The Architect/Engineer shall prepare preliminary recommended furniture layouts for all spaces where it is deemed important to substantiate the fulfillment of program space requirements, or to coordinate with specific architectural, mechanical and electrical elements. 1.3.7 Architect/Engineer shall assist the Owner, if requested, with seeking approval of the Project by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). Such assistance shall include (i) the preparation of a listing of the rooms and square footages in the Project, and (ii) the preparation of project cost information, in accordance with THECB Guidelines. This information shall be provided at the completion of the Design Development Phase when requested by the Owner. The listing of rooms and square footages shall then be updated to reflect any changes occurring during construction and provided to the Owner at Substantial Completion. 1.3.8 At the completion of the Design Development Phase, or such other time as Owner may specify to Architect/Engineer, at Owner’s sole option and discretion, Owner will furnish Architect/Engineer with a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal prepared by Construction Manager based upon the Design Development documents prepared by the Architect/Engineer and approved by the Owner. The Architect/Engineer shall assist the Owner and endeavor to further and advocate the Owner’s interests in Owner’s communications with the Construction Manager in an effort to develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal acceptable to Owner, in Owner’s sole option and discretion. If the Owner does not accept the Construction Manager’s Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, the Architect/Engineer shall participate with the Owner and Construction Manager in constructability reviews and shall revise the documents as necessary in order to reach an agreement. If the Construction Manager’s Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal exceeds the Schematic Design Phase Estimated Construction Cost prepared by, or otherwise accepted by the Construction Manager due to an increase in the scope of the Project caused by further development of the design documents by the Architect/Engineer to the extent that such could not be reasonably inferred by the Construction Manager from the Schematic Design documents, and Owner directs Architect/Engineer to revise the documents, the Architect/Engineer shall revise the documents at its own expense so that the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal for constructing the Project shall not exceed the Owner’s Amount Available for the Construction Contract and any previously approved Estimated Construction Costs. If it is determined to be in the Owner’s best interest, instead of requiring the Architect/Engineer to revise the Drawings and Specifications, the Owner reserves the right to accept a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal that exceeds the stipulated Amount Available for the Construction Contract. The Architect/Engineer shall analyze the final Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal document, together with its supporting assumptions, clarifications, and contingencies, and shall submit a detailed written analysis of the document to the Owner. Such analysis shall include, without limitation, reference to and explanation of any inaccurate or improper assumptions and clarifications. The A/E will not be required to make revisions to the documents at its own expense under the provisions of this paragraph if the Owner’s rejection of the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal is not due to a failure of the A/E to provide the services otherwise required herein. 1.3.9 After the Guaranteed Maximum Price has been accepted, the Architect/Engineer shall incorporate necessary revisions into the Design Development documents. The A/E will not be required to make revisions to the documents at its own expense under the provisions of this paragraph if the revisions are required as the result of inaccurate assumptions and clarifications made in the development of the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal that are not due to a failure of the A/E to provide the services otherwise required herein.
