Common use of Tutorial Clause in Contracts

Tutorial. Although generally limited to historically liberal arts or general education courses, if there is a case in which a traditionally technical course is appropriate for the tutorial, it may be offered as a tutorial with mutual agreement of the faculty member, the administration and State MSCF. Tutorials may be offered to unlimited faculty. Tutorials may be offered to temporary full-time, temporary part-time, and adjunct faculty if there are no unlimited full- time faculty members in the credential field at the college. In a tutorial, faculty meet with students for one-third (1/3) of the course’s student-credit value and students work independently for the remaining two-thirds (2/3). For faculty workload purposes, the credit-value of the tutorial assignment shall be calculated at two-thirds (2/3) of the student-credit value of the course. For example, in a three (3) credit course offered as a tutorial, students would register for three (3) credits; the faculty member’s tutorial assignment would be two (2) credits. The faculty member would meet with the students one (1) hour per week and the students would work independently for the remainder of the appropriate Carnegie Unit time. Once the faculty credit-value of a tutorial assignment has been determined, for workload purposes the assignment shall also be given a contact-hour value. The contact-hour value shall be determined according to the applicable formula for tutorial assignments listed in Appendix G, “Schedule of Assignments.” For temporary part-time faculty, wage determination under Article 13, Section 14, and benefits determination under Article 19, shall be based upon the full student-credit value for the course. For example, if a temporary faculty member was initially offered two three-credit courses and subsequently the two three-credit courses changed to a tutorial delivery model, for workload purposes the combined credit-value of the tutorials still would be four (4) credits, but the pay would be based on the salary schedule at the pro-rata level and the benefits would be based on six (6) credits. The maximum number of students in a tutorial is eight (8). Tutorials can only be offered by mutual agreement of the instructor and the administration and with notice to State MSCF. No more than one (1) tutorial per course can be offered by any given faculty member in any semester.
