Faculty Member Teaching Hour Information

  • If the student applies for taking a leave of absence before the course addition/cancellation deadline, resulting in the original teaching hours of the instructor being affected, what can be done?

    If a student applies for taking a leave of absence before the course addition/cancellation deadline, resulting in the original teaching hours of the instructor being affected, the matter should be handled in the same manner as when a course is canceled resulting in a shortage of teaching hours.

  • When a department or instructor supervises a student thesis, should the "teaching hours" system or the "directed study and independent study courses" system be implemented?

    The department or instructor supervising a student thesis should select one from the "teaching hours" system or the "directed study and independent study courses" system for implementation.

  • If an instructor has taken a leave of absence in the previous semester, how are teaching hours for the next semester calculated?

    According to Paragraph 2 of Article 3 of the "Teaching Hours Guidelines": Instructors may reduce their average teaching hours by up to four hours in one semester and make up to the yearly average in the following semester, provided that such arrangements do not affect the teaching of the curriculum. Instructors who have taken reduced teaching hours must still teach an average of at least two credits (hours) each semester.

  • Is it affected by teaching outside of the University?

    Apart from instructors who have applied for reduced teaching hours and new instructors with reduced teaching hours not eligible to teach outside of the University, whether other instructors can teach outside of the University is at the discretion of the department.
