This would be part of the regular teaching load. That would mean that every 3rd year the person teaches on course less. Alternatively, it means every semester the person is teaching a 1/4 course "overload" and only catches up on it every 3rd year. There is no push at St. Olaf for faculty teaching more courses (_larger_ courses, yes, but not more courses). -Chuck --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
