From: Mariam Dittman <mdittman@GPC.PEACHNET.EDU>Catawba Valley Community College's (an open-door public two-year community college) "official" teaching load is 18-21 contact hours per week, which is professionally unacceptable. Faculty in certain areas (namely Allied Health) get a reduced load because of the way they interpret their accreditation requirements. Administration buys it. Forget research -- it doesn't exist here.
My college (public 2 year transfer institution) is looking at workload
again. I would like to know what your work loads are so that I can get a
feel for what is common and/or acceptable. Specifically what are the
expectations for teaching lectures & labs and what are the expectations for
service and professional development?
