Description of data:
Figure 1 shows the typical number of courses taught per year (N = 63). (The numbers range between 2 and 11 courses, with the most common number being 6.)
Of the typical courses taught per year, 30.8% (N = 20) respondents said their contact hours with students was equal to the credit hours per course, 66.2% (N = 43) reported more contact hours than credit hours for their typical courses, and 3.0% (N = 2) reported less.
Respondents reported an average enrollment of 48 students in their courses, with the majority (N = 38) having between 30 and 40 students in their typical course.
Of the 63 respondents, 65.1% (N = 41) felt their teaching workload was appropriate and 34.9% (N = 22) felt their teaching workload was too high.
