ACADEMIC SERVICES

CLASS COMPUTER ACCOUNTS
Technical Computing Services (TCS) will contact you before the beginning of 
the semester to ask if the class you will be teaching needs student accounts 
on a UNIX or CMS computer.  If you are not contacted within two weeks of the 
start of classes, or if you have questions or system problems, please contact 
the Manager of Instructional Systems, 386 Cory Hall, 643-6141, mullally@eecs.

CLASS LISTS
During the sixth week of classes, the Office of the Registrar distributes a 
computer printout of students registered for each course.  You will receive a 
copy and be asked to check for any discrepancies.  Procedures for making 
changes will be attached to the computer printout.

COURSE ENROLLMENT
Students enroll in advance for courses through the computerized telephone 
registration system, Telebears.  Instructors who want to make changes in 
enrollment MUST contact the Scheduling Officer, 379 Soda, 643-6002,
anita@cs.

COURSE MATERIALS/NOTES
If you wish to prepare course notes, xeroxed readers or other lengthy 
materials for distribution to your students, please arrange with your assigned 
secretarial staff to create a master copy.  You or your assistant can then 
take the master copy to 301 Cory; they will arrange for the printing and 
resale of the material to your students.

COURSE REPORTS/GRADES
At the end of the semester, you will receive grade sheets (course reports) 
and instructions on policies and grading procedures.  Any questions should be 
directed to the Office Supervisor, 393 Soda, 3-6619, fuller@cs.  It is very 
important that you file all course reports before the deadline specified on 
the grading packet.  If a student approaches you to erase an incomplete grade, 
contact the Office Supervisor for information on procedures to follow and for 
a record of the student's previous work in the class.

FINAL EXAMS
Faculty members must be present to administer the final exam.  All changes 
in exam date or time, or the addition or omission of an exam from the list 
included in the Schedule of Classes, need approval from the campus Committee 
on Courses NO LATER than the third week of the semester.  For courses with 
more than one lecture section, common exams are often preferred by the 
instructors.  Letters requesting common finals must be addressed to the 
Committee on Courses by the third week of classes.  Please contact the 
Scheduling Assistant, 379 Soda, 3-6002, anita@cs for details and rules 
regarding these requests.

Final exams must be kept on file for one year.  Please make arrangements with 
your assigned assistant or main office staff to retain the exams.  Students 
may come and look at their exams in your assistant's office; these exams must 
remain in the Division for one year.  Please make sure that the final grades 
for your classes are given to the main office staff within two days of the 
final exam.  Grades should be posted outside your office; please use a grade 
posting system that respects student privacy. 

GRAD STUDENT INSTRUCTOR (GSI) ASSIGNMENTS
CS Classes with laboratory or discussion sections are assigned Grad Student 
Instructors (teaching assistants); the number of GSI hours per week is based 
on the needs of the course and the overall GSI allocation given to us by the 
Dean's Office.  The Scheduling Assistant will confer with you on the 
appointment of specific individuals as teaching assistants for your course.  
The final GSI selection is based on your needs and the Department's 
commitments.  GSIs SHOULD NOT WORK UNTIL they have been cleared by the 
Scheduling Assistant in 501 Soda, and have signed up with the payroll clerk 
in 395 Cory.

GRAD STUDENT INSTRUCTOR (GSI) EVALUATIONS
The student honor society, Eta Kappa Nu, conducts a survey each semester to 
evaluate the teaching effectiveness of each GSI. Near the end of the semester, 
you will be asked by the EECS Chair to allow a representative from Eta Kappa 
Nu to distribute and collect the surveys during one of your class meetings.  
Arrangements are made so this activity is minimally disruptive of normal 
class time.

ORDERING TEXTBOOKS
Textbooks are ordered approximately three months in advance of the semester.  
Please place your orders with the Scheduling Asst., 379 Soda, 3-6002,
anita@cs for CS courses.

READERS
Instructors for classes of any size may hire Readers to assist with grading 
homework, lab reports, problem sets and the like.  The number of reader hours 
assigned to your class is based on class size and funding resources.  You 
cannot exceed the total reader hours assigned to your course.  Potential 
Readers will approach you to tell you about their qualifications and ask you 
to select them as your Reader.  Readers should have completed the course with 
a B or better grade, and have an overall GPA of 3.0 or better.  Once you have 
selected a student, sign the reader agreement form and tell your Reader to 
bring it to the payroll clerk in 395 Cory Hall.  The student cannot be paid 
before being signed up by the payroll clerk.

RESCHEDULING COURSES
Instructors who have a strong reason to reschedule the location, date and/or 
time of a course MUST contact the Scheduling Assistant in 379 Soda, 643-6002,
anita@cs immediately.  Schedule changes should be avoided unless absolutely 
necessary since students enroll in advance under the computerized telephone 
registration system, Telebears; late changes can create serious conflicts 
with their schedules.  NO CHANGES in rooms or times for primary lectures can 
be made after Friday of the first week of classes.
