As far as practicable, the Wolfson School applies the recommendations as stated in Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 of the University Workload Agreement as shown below.
The total allocation for PhD Supervision is capped at 160hrs primary, 80hrs other supervisors.
Appendix 2: Workload: Recommendations
Teaching - T
•All academic staff should undertake undergraduate and/or PGT teaching.
•Allocations can be per module or hour taught in modules where more than one academic teaches.
•An allowance for probationers must be included: 1/3 T for year 1, 1/2 for year 2, 2/3 for year 3.
All teaching hours for the school should be included, i.e. TAs, RAs. bought in teachers, PGs etc. This will help schools assess their total teaching needs.
Appendix 3: Workload: Checklist for the notional weighting of RTEA tasks
Teaching Activity (T) hours p.a.
All teaching hours may be included for school use, i.e. TA, RA, bought-in, PG etc. This will help departments assess their total teaching needs.
•Preparing and teaching a module **or hours for lectures, tutorials, etc
•Extra preparation time for a new module
•Exam marking per module (*weighted according to the number of students)
•CW marking per module (*weighted according to the number of students)
•Supervision of a masters taught course research project
•Supervision of a final year research project
* Weighted per number of students
** Schools may allocate hours per module or allocate according to teaching hours (weighted accordingly). This may be easier if most modules have several colleagues teaching on them. A suggested guide is lectures (2 h), tutorials (1.5 h), practical classes (1.25 h), new lectures (5 h)
