A course director shall be defined as an individual assigned sole or principal responsibility for the design and/or presentation of a course (except where the course is a 1000-level college course) or an individual assigned these responsibilities in a team-taught course.

For the purposes of calculating salary and evaluating experience, it is recognized that a one-course director position normally consists of three contact teaching hours per week in the fall/winter session or the pro-rated equivalent in other sessions. It is also recognized, however, that there are anomalies which deviate from this norm for a variety of reasons which may include but are not limited to:

• the nature and level of the course and pedagogy involved;
• the amount of out-of-class preparation time;
• the size of the class;
• the number of weeks in the session and/or reasonable Faculty/Unit practices.
