Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1998 08:09:18 -0500 (EST) From: "Dr. Alan Sherman" Here is a preliminary summary of some analysis I've done on the question, "Who is teaching CMSC undergrads at UMBC in fall 98?" Please note that the answers depend critically on how the questions are framed. I think a reasonable measure is "by student lecture hour," weighting the lectures by class size. By this measure, we have the following results by three partially overlapping categories: Tenure track (TT) faculty deliver 22% of the instruction, Regular (mostly full-time) faculty deliver 63% of the instruction, and Part-time adjuncts (PT Adj) faculty deliver 29% of the instruction. Instructor By Faculty By Lecture By Lecture Hour Category Count % Count % Count % GTA 2 5% 5 9% 549 8% PT Adj 18 44% 17 31% 1,920 29% Visitors 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% FT Lectr 5 12% 16 30% 2,757 41% TT AsstP 5 12% 5 9% 504 8% TT AssocP 6 15% 6 11% 552 8% TT Prof 5 12% 5 9% 438 7% Total: 41 100% 54 100% 6,720 100% non-regular 20 49% 22 41% 2,469 37% regular 21 51% 32 59% 4,251 63% non-TT 25 61% 38 70% 5,226 78% TT 16 39% 16 30% 1,494 22% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Alan T.
