1. I shall not be assigned academic rank during the term of employment. However, I understand that I may use my academic rank in my kysu.edu email signature if I have held academic rank as a full-time faculty member at Kentucky State University or another accredited institution.
2. I shall work under the supervision of the academic administrators of the academic programs in which the course is listed and being taught.
3. I shall have the same duties and responsibilities with respect to the course(s) being taught as those normally expected of faculty in online courses, which includes ensuring regular and substantive interaction (RSI) with students. And, in teaching the course, I shall have the same academic freedom as other faculty working within the Subject Matter Expert model for online courses at KYSU Online.
4. I agree to attend asynchronous faculty meetings as required and regular review announcements and documents available in the Online Faculty Hub.
5. I will not be responsible for the advisement of majors in their programs of study. I will proactively refer students to Online Student Support Concierge for questions involving course selection and registration and general student support needs.
6. I understand that my work will be evaluated by the students in the course I teach (in the regular end-of-course survey process). I further understand that my work will be evaluated by administrators as relevant to their areas of oversight.
7. I understand that this offer is contingent upon the enrollment of at least 12 students in undergraduate courses, and/or at least 10 students in graduate courses. These students must have paid or made a commitment to pay all tuition and fees by the end of regular registration. For courses with less than the requisite number of students, payment will be made according to the low enrollment pay rates in Appendix A of this Workload Offer Form.1
8. I understand that I am not required to hold office hours since the course is offered in the online modality. However, if students request to meet via phone call or video call, I understand that I am required to respond within 48 hours and to schedule a meeting at the earliest mutually agreeable time.
9. I will start and end the course on the dates specified by the Online Registrar (which match the academic calendar and the dates listed in this form). I agree to submit final grades in Wired by the deadline. I will adhere to the course schedule for the modules/weeks of course content.
10. I understand that I will be paid in accordance with the established fee schedule. Regular compensation is based on seat counts after the add/drop deadline for my course. I further understand that compensation for 8-week terms will be issued as a one-time payment at the end of the term. Compensation for 16-week terms may align with the university's adjunct pay schedule.
11. I agree to the following expectations for regular and substantive interaction in online courses. This is not an exhaustive list of expectations, but they provide a framework for understanding how administrators will evaluate your work.
12. I understand that my grading and feedback on assignments must be specific, substantive, and meaningful so that students can improve their knowledge, skills, and proficiency in the course learning outcomes.
