1.   In any semester when a section of CHE 100 has an enrollment of at least 200, the teaching credits will amount to twelve (12).  The total limit will be set at 250 students per section in any semester.

 

2.   When a full-time faculty member teaches such a section, the faculty member will receive twelve (12) credits.

 

3.   When one or more sections of CHE 100 are "team-taught" by any combination of full-time, part-time or retiree instructors, the maximum number of credits per semester for each instructor will conform with the Collective Bargaining Agreement.  The total credits granted per section will be twelve (12).

 

4.   The chair and the department may assign the full-time faculty member in CHE 100 the responsibility for recruiting part-time and retiree instructors as well as assistants in CHE 100.  When CHE 100 is taught as a "team-taught" course, the full-time faculty member will receive four (4) hours load credits for supervision of recruiting, maintenance of facilities, equipment and supplies, and coordination of multiple sections for the aggregate of all sections in that semester.

 

5.   In any one semester, if a full-time faculty member has less than 200 students and if in any three previous semesters the full-time faculty member has taught a section of CHE 100 and the enrollment was greater than 200 students, the full-time faculty member will receive twelve (12) credits for the current semester.

 

6.   A graduate or university assistant will be hired for each section of CHE 100 or one adjunct professor will be hired for both sections of CHE 100.
