For teaching two four hour classes under this policy, the teacher will receive insufficient credit for a reduced load forever and, at the same time, receive no other consideration for teaching the extra hours. There are those in Math that have taught 13 or 14 hours semester after semester with the repeated promise of a reduce workload in the future. The proposed procedure will make those many promises made faculty members by administrators of this University totally false promises further destroying trust at this University. Under this procedure the normal load for those faculty members with the expertise and training required to teach the four hour classes will remain at 13 or 14 hours.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>Supervising an Honor’s Thesis or a Master’s Thesis or a Master’s Research Project or a Doctoral Dissertation is a “MAJOR” commitment for a faculty member. In Math serving as a supervisor for an honor’s student or a graduate student is an addition to the “normal” teaching load of 12 to 14 hours. With the “small” master’s program in Math, nobody will receive a reduced load as a result of their supervision of honor’s students and graduate students. Within Math, the faculty has repeatedly rolled-up their sleeves and done everything possible to make the undergraduate and graduate programs the best it can be with hopes and promises that things would improve in the future. The faculty members of the CoSEA deserve a workload policy that will support, promote, and reward them for their many “Extra-Ordinary” contributions to the College and our students. The proposed procedure will ensure that not happen.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>Charles Dorsett<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> coseafaculty-bounces@tamuc.edu [mailto:coseafaculty-bounces@tamuc.edu] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Pamela Webster<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, July 02, 2013 12:56 PM<br><b>To:</b> coseafaculty@tamuc.edu<br><b>Subject:</b> [COSEAfaculty] Workload Procedure</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi, everyone.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dr. Cooper and I believe we have fulfilled the charge given to us of writing the CoSEA Workload Procedure.
