sections for directed learning by individual students. These sections will not count toward faculty contractual loads or overload but are instead paid at the Independent Study rate found in Table 2.0 of this Article. The maximum number of Independent Study and/or Internship students that a single faculty member may oversee shall not exceed ten (10) in a single semester. Note: Independent Study does not refer to scheduled group-instruction courses in which students perform work semiindependently, such as project-based learning or undergraduate research. Such group-instruction sections will count toward faculty contractual loads or overloads. Low-enrolled courses shall not be paid at the Independent Study rate. 5. Course enrollment caps are determined by the department with the approval of the Dean and Vice President. Course enrollment caps reflect the responsibilities other than direct instruction, including but not limited to, the pedagogical methods employed, safety concerns, and the need for individualized attention. No discipline may set their maximum class size to greater than fifty (50) students, with the exception of instructor-assisted open entry classes. No overload will be paid for classes wherein the enrollment exceeds its established enrollment cap when done with the consent of the individual instructor. 6. Faculty members who co-teach a class will be compensated on a prorated basis not to exceed the number of total contact hours that a single faculty member would be credited for if they taught the course (for example two faculty members who teach a three (3) credit (3 contact hours) class will each get 1.5 contact hours or some other combination leading to a total of 3 contact hours). This section does not apply to learning community teaching assignments. 2022-2025 TMCC-NFA Contract Article 8 Page 26
