TIMETABLE PROMPT for 2008-2009

Please complete and submit this form as soon as is possible after your caucus decides on graduate courses and NO LATER THAN THURSDAY, December 2, 2007. (I'm sorry we have to do this so far in advance, but the timetable process has been computerized and everything takes longer now.)

Warning: To submit the form, click one of the two " Submit " buttons below. Avoid hitting the return key while entering text -- this will cause the form to be submitted prematurely.

(If you prefer, print this form, fill it out by hand, and return it to Joel Robbin.)

General Policies

We will attempt to assign courses in accordance with the preferences indicated by you on the form below. However, this is subject to several constraints, such as:
  1. Almost everyone will end up teaching a lecture of 114, 171, 210, 211, 217, 221, 222, 234 or a section of 130,131,132,141. If you do not list one of these courses as one of your preferences, it will be assumed that you do not care which one you teach.
  2. The ratio of MWF (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) to TR (Tuesday/Thursday) schedules has to be balanced.
  3. Preferences for class times have to be balanced with the necessity of offering courses at many different times to minimize conflicts for students, and with the availability of appropriate rooms.

About you.

Which, if any, graduate course (course number > 700) have you been assigned by a caucus decision?
Fall graduate course number:  Days and time:
Spring graduate course number:   Days and time:


How many undergraduate courses (course number < 700) will you teach in 2008-9?
FOUR THREE TWO ONE NO undergraduate courses

If your answer to the last question is "NO undergraduate courses", just this form now.

Is there a possibility that you will be buying off a course? Yes No.
If YES, please estimate the probability: and which semester: fall spring.

Comments on the above:

Your course preferences.

Here follows a list of undergraduate courses to be taught in 2005-6. Rank your preferences by inserting a number between 1 and 9 (lowest number = highest preference) after as many courses as you want. A 5 indicates neutrality, an entry higher than 5 indicates distaste, and a blank entry is equivalent to a 5. Use the second column for fall and the third for spring. (The numbers in parentheses represent the number of faculty taught sections we expect will run.) We cannot guarantee you will not be given a course which you do not want to teach, but we will try.

Course preference comments :

Your time preferences.

The usual arrangements of teaching days are MWF (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) or TR (Tuesday/Thursday). Normal classes last 50 minutes, except for three credit TR classes which last 75 minutes. Note that 75 minutes undergraduate classes on MWF will not be allowed unless approved by the Dean's Office. This rule does not apply to courses beginning 5:30 or later. Rank your time preferences by inserting a number between 1 and 9 (lowest number = highest preference) after as many times as you want. If you want to teach at a nonstandard time, or if you will teach a two credit TR course so indicate in the comments section. Unless you specifically request it in the comments section, we will not give you a five day schedule (i.e. MWF class and a TR class).

50 MIN CLASSES 75 MIN CLASSES
MWF 07:45-08:35 a.m. TR 08:00-09:15 a.m.
MWF 08:50-09:40 a.m. TR 09:30-10:45 a.m.
MWF 09:55-10:45 a.m. TR 11:00-12:15 a.m.
MWF 11:00-11:50 a.m. TR 01:00-02:15 p.m.
MWF 12:05-12:55 p.m. TR 02:30-03:45 p.m.
MWF 01:20-02:10 p.m.
MWF 02:25-03:15 p.m.
MWF 03:30-04:20 p.m.


In each semester indicate whether you want your courses (if you teach two)

back to back, one hour apart, more than one hour apart, or I don't care.

Time preference comments:

Special needs

If you have special needs for teaching a particular course (e.g., B102, B107, B130, B223, B231 Van Vleck to be able to use the computer and projector), please be sure to indicate which technologies would fit your needs. Since we get first choice of the rooms in Van Vleck, we should be able to accommodate all requests for rooms with technology in Van Vleck. However, lecturers from across campus who intend to use technology get priority over those who don't, when it comes to rooms with technology. You may end up in a lecture hall in another part of campus if you are assigned a large lecture and you will not be using computers or projectors in your lecture. If you need any of the following for any course so indicate (and indicate for which course in the "Special needs comments" box which follows):

Video Projection Computer Projection VCR
Monitor (TV) Network (active data jack) CD Player
DVD Player Document Camera Movable Chairs
>30 ft Blackboard Audio System (Microphone)


Special needs comments (indicate for which course):

Footnotes

If you want footnotes in the timetable (for example a warning about evening exams), type (or describe) them in the box.
