Re: teaching loads and quality



From: kforinas <kforinas@IUS.EDU>

Through a deal with the trustees the administration here has been
authorized to hire more full time positions but they have to be
lectureship positions, not tenure track. Rick (or anyone else), I was
wondering, if such a position was forced on you, what would you do, how
would you put such a person to use? They will be expected to do some
committee work but no research. I've thought of perhaps having this
person coordinate the labs (and teach most of them). What would be an
appropriate load of lab courses (one meeting at 3 contact hrs a week or
2 credit hrs)?

Why restrict such a valuable person to just teaching labs? The labs should be taught by the same person teaching the lecture sections. You may be wasting true teaching talent.


Cheers,
Joe
