L&S Teaching Report
The Teaching Report report lists Faculty and renewable Academic Staff who have teaching commitments to a department/program. This report is reviewed by Teaching & Learning Administration in L&S. The Teaching Report is designed to assist departments and instructional programs as well as the College in documenting the allocation of Faculty and renewable Academic Staff teaching.
TLA requests this report each January for the upcoming academic year. TLA may also request an updated Teaching Report while evaluating short-term staffing requests.
Past copies of the Teaching Report are available in departmental Box folders (folder name = “48-#### Teaching Report”).
