Teaching Labs Definition Sample Clauses
The "Teaching Labs Definition" clause establishes what constitutes a teaching laboratory within the context of the agreement. It typically outlines the specific criteria or characteristics that a facility or activity must meet to be considered a teaching lab, such as being used primarily for instructional purposes rather than research or commercial activities. By clearly defining this term, the clause ensures that both parties understand the scope of rights, obligations, or restrictions that apply specifically to teaching labs, thereby preventing misunderstandings and ensuring the agreement is applied correctly.
Teaching Labs Definition. Laboratory courses classified as teaching labs are laboratory courses requiring preparation and student evaluation outside of regular class time by the professor. These courses have, as a primary function, the teaching of concepts rather than skills development as the final outcome of the course. These teaching lab courses are assigned a load and compensation value of one (1) LHE per hour of lab time scheduled. Prep time for the teaching lab is also considered. Faculty who teach lab parity classes are expected to: • Construct a lab schedule that centers on topics not covered in the lecture, not the repetitive practice of a skill; • Assign reports, practicals, and projects that are lab focused and that the professor grades outside the class time separate from the tests, quizzes, and assignments associated with and given during the lecture portion of the class; • Maintain a continuing active presence in the lab – presenting material not covered in the lecture portion of the class, providing demonstrations, and circulating as to evaluate and assist during lab time; and • Conduct a final exam (or lab experience) on lab topics during the last week of classes in a different time block than the final lecture exam.

These courses have, as a primary function, the teaching of concepts rather than skills development as the final outcome of the course. These teaching lab courses are assigned a load and compensation value of one (1) LHE per hour of lab time scheduled. Criteria for identifying a teaching lab are: the laboratory course requires the active continuing presence of the instructor with ongoing involvement in lecturing, demonstrating, or assisting the student; the course includes multiple topics that must be taught by the professor in the teaching lab in addition to assignments that must be graded by the professor outside of regular teaching lab time. Prep time for the teaching lab is also considered.
