Biological Sciences Laboratory Instruction
Regardless of a student’s future pursuits in the field of biological sciences, the introduction to biological processes and protocols in a laboratory setting can only expand a student’s view of the world. The effective implementation of laboratories is necessary if students are to acquire a basic foundation in the biological sciences and a broad worldview.
Adjunct, GTA, and CPI instructor contracts are 18 weeks long; summer session teaching appointments are 4 to 8 weeks long. It is contractually expected that instructors; teach all the labs they are on contract for, grade all assignments, attend instructor meetings, proctor exams, and participate in tutoring/office hours.
Teaching appointments are 18 weeks long and include: 1) the week before classes begin (January 12), 2) the 15 weeks of classes, 3) Spring break, and 4) finals week (ending May 8).
Please get in touch with the laboratory coordinator for your assigned course to determine tutoring/office hours requirements.
