global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We must align offerings and instructional FTE with WOU&#8217;s enrollments. \u00a0To that end, this approach is an effort to facilitate changes that have resulted from efficiencies and Article 15 work, and to proactively coordinate curriculum, scheduling and allocation of instructional FTE across programs, divisions and colleges. \u00a0Scheduling in 2021-22 emphasizes student-centered curriculum, accessible courses, efficient delivery, sustainable section sizes and flexibility to deal with the unanticipated.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;What is the difference between %22program%22 and %22General Education%22 contact hours?&#8221;

For WOU to be sustainable, our General Education courses need to enroll more students, on average. \u00a0To that end, we have set an overall target of 25 students per General Education course, understanding that areas of Gen Ed and some courses will be smaller while others will be larger. \u00a0We have also considered declining enrollments among undergraduate students in determining the number of sections to be offered.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022-23, we anticipate scheduling about XX General Education courses, which is fewer than were scheduled in 2021-22.\u00a0 In part this is a reflection of declining enrollments and in part a reflection of the increased proportion of transfer students (who are less likely to need a full slate of Gen Ed courses).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We have created an extra sections pool (the equivalent of about 34 4-credit courses) that can be used, among other purposes, to open sections of courses where our estimates missed the mark and a critical mass of students needs another section of a specific course in order to progress towards graduation. \u00a0Extra sections will be approved by the dean and provost, and determined in collaboration with the General Education Director when Gen Ed courses are involved.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Should my course cap be set to the target average class size?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.6&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Course caps should be set higher than the target average class size, probably by about 20%<\/strong>. \u00a0Otherwise, the upper limit of the cap will make it almost impossible for a set of courses, in the aggregate, to reach the average target.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;How are Honors courses handled?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.6&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>In conversation with the Honors director, two kinds of Honors courses were identified. \u00a0First, many courses are offered by the same program every time; these courses are included in the initial allocation of contact hours for the affected programs. \u00a0Second, some Honors courses rotate among faculty in various programs (e.g., Exploratory and Colloquium courses, Health and Wellness, Creative Arts); when faculty for those courses are selected in the Winter, additional releases for service to the Honors Program will be allocated to programs whose faculty support Honors.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;How are course releases for First Year Seminar courses handled?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.6&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>When tenure-track faculty teach a First-Year Seminar course, their home problem will receive funding for an NTT taught course in the program. \u00a0When an NTT faculty member teaches a First-Year Seminar course, the NTT faculty member will be compensated for teaching.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tools for course scheduling, 2022-23 Overview Plan&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":620,"featured_media":0,"parent":754,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-23373","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/620"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23373\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/provost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
