DATA

 

WSCH/FTEF/Load

WSCH is the abbreviation for Weekly Student Contact Hours. This is a measure of the total number of hours students spent in all sections of a specific department. For instance, one student in one 3-unit lecture section produces 54 WSCH; the aggregate number of all students in all sections in a department is presented in the data.

FTEF is the abbreviation for Full Time Faculty Equivalent. This number is derived by adding the load for all full time, adjunct, and overload assignments and computing the equivalent number of full time faculty this aggregate load represents.

Load is a measure of efficiency, and it is derived by dividing the WSCH by FTEF. The resulting number is the average number of weekly student contact hours taught by each full time faculty equivalent. Two things are worth noting: 1) Some programs require a small student to faculty ratio and could not be effectively taught if classes were too large; 2) FTEF is calculated using faculty load, so sections taught by faculty who have no load--such as most high school and consortium sections--will add to WSCH but not to FTEF, and the resulting efficiency measures may be skewed.
