Instructional Workload Protocols (As of 2/8/10)
LABOVITZ SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICSINSTRUCTIONAL CONTACT HOUR LIMITS AND PROTOCOLS 2009-2012 A. Contact Hour Limits for SBETable 1 Contact Hour (CH) Limits
B. ProtocolsIn general, all courses offered by SBE will have CH equal to course credits. CH for concurrent sections of a course are counted only once. For shared courses, courses for which both or all faculty are present during instruction, the total CH shall not exceed the course credits by more than 50%. Faculty Members chairing MBA Field Research Projects will be awarded 0.2 CH per Student Credit Hour (SCH) up to a maximum of 8 CH per AY for this effort. The CH will be assigned to the Member when the student registers for MBA 8994. The DGS/MBA Director will be responsible for allocating the total MBA 8994 CH to the appropriate faculty members. 1. Independent Study (recognized for effort not overload)
2. Internships/Field Studies
NOTE: The following SBE courses with, e.g., "Seminar" or "Special Topics", in the title are offerings similar to traditional courses. Therefore CH assigned to instructors of these courses falls under the general structure of Contact Hours equal to the course credits.
SCHOOL OF FINE ARTSINSTRUCTIONAL CONTACT HOUR LIMITS AND PROTOCOLS 2009-2012 A. Contact Hour Limits for SFA.Table 1 Contact Hour (CH) Limits
B. ProtocolsGENERAL Internships: 0.13 CH/student Team Taught Courses: CH are split between the instructors proportionate to their share of the course. Graduate Thesis Courses (SFA Plan B papers): Number of credits divided by 4 for each student registered. Independent Study: 0.2 CH/SCH (maximum of 4 CH per faculty member per semester). SFA Practice: department routinely allows up to 5 students to enroll to study with each faculty member authorized to accept Independent Study students. ART & DESIGN SPECIFIC Studio (lecture/lab format) Courses: Art Education (lecture/lab format) Courses: Graphic Design Services Seminars MUSIC DEPARTMENT SPECIFIC50 minutes of class per week = 1 Contact Hour (CH) Applied lessons 3 hours (180 minutes) of applied lesson teaching = 2 Contact Hours Applied Study (1.5 clock hours = 1 CH) Master Class/Group Lessons: Direction and Rehearsal of Large Ensembles: Rehearsal of Chamber Music Ensembles and Combos: Student Teacher Supervision: THEATRE DEPARTMENT SPECIFIC Performance Courses: (Lecture-demonstration/lab) Design Courses: Practica: Shared Course Team Taught Courses: FINE ARTS COURSES: FA 1300 & FA 5300 STUDENT TEACHING SPECIFICSupervision of one student teacher is assigned .67 CH to accommodate the time
required to implement clinical supervision. For a student teacher placed more

B. Protocols
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN SERVICE PROFESSIONSINSTRUCTIONAL CONTACT HOUR LIMITS AND PROTOCOLS 2009-2012 A. Contact Hour Limits for CEHSP.Table 1 Contact Hour Limits
B. ProtocolsLecture: a fifty-minute class period shall constitute one Contact Hour (CH). Team Teaching: In instances where two instructors are assigned to one class; e.g., PEP 3970 Supervised Teaching: College, 1 cr, the Contact Hours associated with the class are split equally between the two instructors. Independent Study is eligible for Contact Hour assignment using the following formula: 0.2 per student credit hour (SCH) up to 4 CH per semester. UROP projects will count as 0.34 CH per project. Independent Study and UROP projects can be used to raise CH to full load but cannot be used to warrant overload pay. MEd Committee Chair: The chair will receive 0.2 x SCH when student enrolls in EHS 5990. Doctoral advising: 1 CH per year for 2 years when a faculty member is appointed as advisor/committee-chair for an Ed.D. student. Internships and Externships (Undergraduate): Shall use the formula 0.13 x # of students enrolled, not to exceed 4 CH per semester. Exceptions are noted in department specific protocols. Shared Teaching: where two or more instructors are in the room at the same time shall have up to 150% CH. Courses taught in this fashion need to receive prior permission from the Dean. COMMUNICATION SCIENCES & DISORDERS SPECIFICAcademic Faculty CSD 8099 - Plan B project - each faculty member shall receive 1 CH per Plan B project. Clinical Internships - CSD 8297, CSD 8097, CSD 4197, CSD 4297- 1 CH per client or client group per semester, maximum of 3.0 CH and average of three clients or client groups per semester. Externship - CSD 8197 - 0.45 CH for each student supervised. Clinical Faculty (supervision only; no course preparation, maintenance, grading, etc. that would require attention when classes are not in session.) Clinic Director - 3 CH per semester, 6 per year. EDUCATION SPECIFICFor most courses, one credit of assigned teaching equals one CH. Exceptions to this rule will be described below. Supervision of one student teacher is assigned 0.67 CH to accommodate the time required to implement clinical supervision. For a student teacher placed more than 40 miles from UMD (or the Twin Cities), 1.00 CH will be assigned to accommodate travel time. For supervision of a student teacher who has failed student teaching once and is attempting a second student teaching experience, 1.34 CH is assigned to accommodate the additional time and assistance which the supervisor must provide. For students who must repeat student teaching, the following applies:
Student Teaching classes are:
Educ 5600 and ElEd 3425 are considered Internships and shall use the formula 0.13 x # of students. For courses which include a practicum component, the instructor shall receive 1 additional CH beyond the number of credits for the course, if the course enrollment is 10 or larger. Courses with Practicum are listed below:
For EnEd 4343 the instructor shall receive 1 additional CH beyond the number of credits for the course. HPER SPECIFICA laboratory component of any course will receive CH equal to clock hours scheduled. PEP 5991 follows the CEHSP internship rule. Activity Courses Methods Courses The following 2 credit methods classes shall count as 3 CH: The following 2 credit outdoor recreation classes shall count as 3 CH: The following 3 credit outdoor recreation classes shall count as 4 CH: The following are American Red Cross methods classes: Practicums PEP 4997 is a practicum. The formula for computing CH is 0.2 multiplied by the number of students enrolled. This course can be used for overload. PEP 4996 and Rec 4996. The formula for computing CH is 0.25 x number of students enrolled. Hlth 4996 is an internship. The formula for computing CH is 0.33 x number of students enrolled. PSYCHOLOGY SPECIFIC The following courses are independent study courses and follow the formula
0.2 x SCH up to a maximum of 4 CH per semester (not to be used in overload
pay): Experimental lab courses shall count 1 CH for each 1 hour lab section (Psy 3021 & 3022). Psy 3996 is considered an internship and shall follow this formula: 0.25 x # of students. The Graduate Practicum counts as follows: Plan B SOCIAL WORK SPECIFICField I (SW 8801) and Field II (SW 8802) will count as 3 CH each semester when taught sequentially through the year. Field II (SW8802) taught as a block during spring only will count as 2.5 CH. Fourteen (14) CH per year for Plan B supervision shall be distributed over eligible Social Work faculty.
COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTSINSTRUCTIONAL CONTACT HOUR LIMITS AND PROTOCOLS 2009-2012 A. Contact Hour Limits for CLA.Table 1 Contact Hour Limits
B. ProtocolsGeneral: 50 minutes of classroom contact will be assigned one Contact Hour (CH) and therefore, in CLA, the number of CH will usually equal the course credits. For Internships: 0.13 CH/student, up to 8 CH/academic year. CH for concurrent sections of a course are counted only once. For team taught courses where only one instructor is with the class at a time, CH are split proportionately. For shared courses, courses for which both or all of the faculty are present during instruction, the total CH shall not exceed the course credits by more than 50%. Engl 5902 and Engl 5922 include a practicum component. If the enrollment is 10 or more, the instructor shall receive 1 CH beyond the number of credits for the course. For Independent Studies the instructor shall receive 0.2 CH for each Student Credit Hour (SCH). For a student in a UROP project the instructor shall be credited with 0.34 CH over the official period of the project. Accrual of CH for independent studies shall be limited to 8 CH/year. Independent Study counts for load but not for overload. For Seminars, the instructor shall receive CH equal to the course credits. For Graduate Thesis Credit (8777 and 8888) the instructor shall receive 0.25 CH/SCH. SPECIAL CASES: The following courses should be treated in accordance with the current protocol governing Independent Study; i.e., instructors should receive 0.2 Contact Hours (CH) for each Student Credit Hour (SCH) up to four CH per semester. As with Independent Study and UROP credit, these CHs can be used to raise CH to full load but cannot be used to warrant overload pay.
