How do you calculate a University workload for teaching staff, in your University?

04 April 2018 0 8K Report

Please help me know your ideas and understanding in your areas about how to calculate workload for a University teching staff, regardless of posts (Professors, etc).

- It's easier to calculate contact hours, but how do you estimate the rest:

marking, lecturer preps, exam preps, assignments, research work, consultations with industry, adminisrative work and students' consultations. (Sometimes not sleeping at all).

Is it realistic to attempt to measure university teaching staff workload?

I will appreciate your replies. Kindly
