Workload for Science Faculty and Lab Sample Clauses

Workload for Science Faculty and Lab. Instructors (1) Science lecture faculty's contact hours will be 16 per week. To the extent faculty instruct in labs, lab hours are 50% of the value of a lecture hour. The weekly maximum hours in actual class instructional time shall not exceed 18, except by overload compensation or equivalent reduction in hours of instruction in the ensuing semester or academic year. (2) The lab portion of science courses shall not exceed 18 students, except in those courses determined by the department head where the maximum class size may be 24. (Lab instructors will not normally be assigned to instruct these sections). (3) When sufficient lecture work exists, lecture faculty agree to vacate instruction of first year labs, which will be assumed by lab instructors. On occasion and when required, faculty may teach a first year lab to fill out their instructional workload. When this occurs, no regular lab instructor can be displaced from a lab. (4) The University College and FSA agree to a lab instructor pay scale of Step 1 to Step 6 inclusive from the faculty scale, as described in Article 22.6.2(b). Academic assistants assuming this new position shall be placed at Step 4. (5) Lab instructors will have a faculty workload, the contact hours normally being 18 per week. (6) The University College agrees that lab instructors who are assigned lab technician duties maintain their faculty position and rate of pay. (7) Lecture faculty and lab instructors are obligated to consult and agree on matter of common concern such as the compatible sequences of lectures and labs. (8) The University College agrees to provide lab technician support in those labs offered by lecture faculty, where the Department determines that safety concerns and instructional complexities require two employees. (9) The University College agrees that when a "lab only" course is offered, the actual time of instruction shall apply, as in lecture courses.
