Faculty Teaching Load: Community Colleges, Fall 1977.
Hawaii Univ., Honolulu. Community Coll. System.
This report describes faculty teaching load for fall 1977 in the Hawaii community college system as measured in terms of average semester hours taught, average hours in contact with students, and class size. The data were based on students registered in regular credit programs in the system. A general decrease in the number of courses, semester hours, student registrations, student semester hours and contact hours was noted, reflecting a drop in enrollment of 1% and an increase in the proportion of part-time students (44%). Average class size was smaller, with larger average size in general education courses than in vocational education courses. Faculty teaching figures indicated: the heaviest teaching load since 1973 in terms of average semester hours taught, with 13.5 for the system and 13.2-13.9 by campus; a generally heavier teaching load in terms of weekly instructor contact hours, with 16.8 for the system and 13.9-19.5 by campus; a slight decline in productivity ratios for the system; an unchanged faculty/student ratio of 1:23. Tabular data on courses, classes, semester and contact hours, average class size by program, average semester and contact hours taught, productivity, faculty/student ratios, and faculty headcounts and full-time equivalents are included for each college and for the system.
