WHAT DO I DO? FAQs
• EMAIL. How do I get my email address and password for the SDCCD district’s Outlook email system and for PeopleSoft access?
Our IT department emails this info to the Dean. Ken may be the one who forwards it to your private email address. This all happens near the end of the hiring process. Our Outlook is at: (see p.11).
• KEYS. How do I get keys?
Fill out the online key request form at:
The Navigation to this page is sdmesa.edu/ > College Services > Business Office Support > Key Request. The request goes to the dean for approval and you will receive a confirmation email that your key request has been submitted and again when it is ready for pickup at Campus Police (Q-100, near the football field and the “S” Allied Health building).
Try calling Campus Police at 619-388-2749 to get updates on your keys; you will also be given a four-digit alarm code (see pp.15-6). If you are locked out, Police Dispatch at 619-388-6405 may be better so a patrolling officer may come by. (SDCCD phone #s are 619-388-xxxx, so we often just give the last four digits).
Mary I. Toste [mitoste@sdccd.edu], the Dean’s secretary, might also help.
• COMPUTER LAB KEYS. What keys do I need for the computer labs?
You need key 302-14 for the MS209 computer lab, and you need 302-17 for MS213.
• PODIUM KEY. How do I get a key for the computer podium in the classroom?
Email MesaCTS@sdccd.edu for a key and training. You can also seek assistance from nearby faculty. A training video is available at:
• CANVAS.
Canvas recently replaced Blackboard as our free, online course-management system. Key contact: Katie Palacios [kpalacio@sdccd.edu].
• CSID.
Your CSID is your identification number within SDCCD.
• ROSTERS AND GRADES. How do I access the class roster? Where would I input grades?
You will need your CSID to use Campus Solutions, which allows you to access rosters and grade sheets. Website at:
User ID is your CSID; faculty hired before 2019 use “000” followed by your old CSID number. Go to "College Faculty Dashboard" and then "College Faculty Schedule.”
• LATE PROCESSING. What happens if I am not cleared by the first day of class?
New faculty might not be cleared in time for the first day of class. It is routine for Ken to find potential subs for our new faculty in the meantime. Ken will identify one or two faculty members who can sub for you if necessary. Please send him your syllabi when you are ready so that he can send them copies. Then, they can follow your rules and guidelines instead of making things up along the way.
• PAY. How do I get paid?
Adjunct faculty are normally paid on or about the 10th of the month. See p.8.
• SUBBING. How do I get paid for subbing?
See pp.43-5.

HIRING and EMPLOYMENT
EMAIL
You will be transitioned from the email address on your SDCCD application to your official SDCCD email ending in @sdccd.edu - YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING YOUR SDCCD EMAIL! Your login is your email address, but without the @sdccd.edu.
Our email portal is Outlook. Here are some possible links:
owa.sdccd.edu
outlook.sdccd.edu
PASSWORDS
Outlook [email] and PeopleSoft may have different logins and passwords;
new faculty need to wait for a welcome email.
COMPUTER WORKSTATION PASSWORD
At some point, you may be assigned an office space. The login and password to the shared computer workstations should be the same as for your Outlook district email account.
CLASS NUMBERS
This five-digit number identifies each class section you teach.
This replaces the CRNs (Course Reference Numbers) we used to use.
INFORMATION ON PAYMENT / SALARY
On the district website under Employee Resources, check PeopleSoft:

• Menu
• Employee Service Center
• My Pay
Mistakes have been made!
CONTRACT / UNION / SALARY (see )
Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and Salary:
Hourly rates for adjunct faculty are given. For total pay for a class, you basically multiply by 54 for a 3-unit class, 72 for a 4-unit class, and 90 for a 5-unit class.
That is, the multiplier is 18 x the number of units. It’s 18 instead of 16 (the number of weeks of instruction) because of FLEX. Check for the number of hours. Non-16-week classes may be paid slightly differently.
PHOTO ID CARDS
For a photo ID card, you can go to Payroll (Room 380, third floor) at the district office at 3375 Camino Del Rio South. ID cards help if you want to borrow books from the LRC (library); you can also get discounts at some stores. Renewal stickers are available in A-101.
PARKING
PARKING PERMITS
• RECIPROCITY. A valid parking permit for any community college in San Diego County will suffice at any other community college in San Diego County, including Mesa.
• CAMPUS POLICE. Forms for free faculty parking permits are available here and also at the Dean’s office. The Dean’s signature is required. You will need your license plate #. Location: Q-100 building, at the base of the new parking structure near the
football field.
• EXPIRATION DATE. Keep this in mind.
PARKING LOGISTICS
• ADD/DROP PERIOD. The first two weeks of the term (Fall/Spring) will be very tight on parking, because it is the add/drop period for students searching for sections to “crash.”
• FACULTY PARKING. “Staff” includes faculty. The staff parking lot across from the “A” administration building and the flagpole, on the other side of the campus from the Student Services building, typically has spaces.
• FLEX SPACES. Students can park in these spaces for part of the day. Otherwise, these are for staff only. Faculty can park in staff, flex staff, or student spaces.
• TIME OF DAY. Parking is easiest in the early morning, mid-afternoon, and late night.
ROOMS, MAIL, KEYS, SUPPLIES, and FOOD
ACCESS TO MS-100 BUILDING
For Fall / Spring (approx.; not holidays):
MTWTh from about 6am to 11pm.
Fridays from about 6am to 8pm.
Sat. from about 8am-5pm.
Sun. – none.
During off-hours, you would need to enter by the back door and turn off the alarm. You cannot go through the large glass doors to the rest of the building, or you will set off the alarm.
All external doors will be locked at 5pm except the front doors to the quad.
ROOM NUMBERING
FLOORS IN MS-100 BUILDING. The first digit of the room number indicates the floor. For example, the Dean’s office, MS-301, is on the 3rd floor. Math faculty offices are on the 2nd floor.
OTHER BUILDINGS.
• MC is Mesa Commons.
Printing and Mail Services (formerly “Repro”): MC-215 (on the top floor).
Mailroom: MC-219.
Stockroom: MC-124, across from Lot 7,
enter from outside, 1st floor, side closest to MS-100.
• Rooms in the I-300 building may be numbered I3-###.
• Rooms in the I-400 Student Services building may be numbered I4###.
FACULTY RESTROOMS
Ask for the keypad code, which will work on all four floors. If the restroom is occupied, a red light will flash when the code is entered.
MAILROOMS
DEPARTMENTAL MAILBOX. Official mailboxes for math faculty are in the MS215-V
workroom. Your box may be set up at any time. Students may leave messages for you at Printing and Mail Services (formerly “Repro”; in MC-215: Mesa Commons, top floor); the messages will be sent to MS215-V. One purpose of these mailboxes is for the swapping of rosters, papers, etc. for subs.

KEYS, SPECIAL ROOMS, and SUPPLIES
KEYS. How do I get keys?
Fill out the online key request form at:
The Navigation to this page is sdmesa.edu/ > College Services > Business Office Support > Key Request. The request goes to the dean for approval and you will receive a confirmation email that your key request has been submitted and again when it is ready for pickup at Campus Police (Q-100, near the football field and the “S” Allied Health building).
Try calling Campus Police at 619-388-2749 to get updates on your keys; you will also be given a four-digit alarm code (see pp.15-6). If you are locked out, Police Dispatch at 619-388-6405 may be better so a patrolling officer may come by. (SDCCD phone #s are 619-388-xxxx, so we often just give the last four digits).
Mary I. Toste [mitoste@sdccd.edu], the Dean’s secretary, might also help.
PERIMETER KEY. The 301-1 key will open outside doors to the MS-100 building and all standard classroom doors. Computer labs (MS-109, 209, 213) require a different key. Science labs also require individual keys.
MS215-V WORKROOM / MAILROOM. The 303 (contract faculty) and 303-1 (adjunct faculty) keys will open the workroom / mailroom in MS215-V. It has:
• a printer / scanner (including scan-to-email) / fax / copier
For a code or paper (Math), contact Ken Kuniyuki at kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu … for additional help, contact David Fierro at dfierro@sdccd.edu
The printer to select is: MEMSXER215V.
• department mailboxes – for exchanges within the math department.
• a sub list
• some textbooks and other resources (use your 303-1 key to unlock the cabinet)
• supplies (markers, refills, Scantrons, batteries, erasers, etc.)
If running low (Math; MS215-V), contact Ken Kuniyuki: kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu
The stockroom is in Mesa Commons, MC-124, across from Lot 7:
enter from outside, 1st floor, side closest to MS-100.
This is good for the occasional item.
Phone: x2556, meaning 619-388-2556.
Hours: Usually MTWTh to 3:30pm and Friday to noon in Fall/Spring.
• scientific and graphing calculators
• letterhead (for official letters, recommendation letters, etc.; email Ken for ecopies)
• a coffeemaker
• a microwave
MS220-A. The 303 key (for contract faculty) also opens the MS220-A materials room with manipulatives. MS303-1 (for adjuncts) cannot open MS220-A. To get the key for this room, go to the MS215-V workroom and get the key on the long rod; it is on a key ring between the mailboxes and the door.
LOUNGE. The 308 key opens the faculty lounges in MS222-I and MS302 (3rd floor). MS222-I has:
• couches, chairs, and tables
• a refrigerator / freezer
• a sink
• a microwave / hot pot
• cupboards and drawers
• paper towels
Please clean up after yourself!
LOCKED OUT? A fellow faculty member can help. Chairs and the Dean’s office have more access. Police dispatch is at x6405 (meaning 619-388-6405).
DO NOT SHARE KEYS OR CODES!
FOOD
CAFETERIA and M-STOP. These are in Mesa Commons. The M-Stop convenience store is next to the Bookstore.
CULINARY OUTLOOK / MFusion LUNCH MENU. Sometimes, the students in the culinary and hospitality program will prepare quality meals at well below restaurant costs. (Edited from Tonya Whitfield:) Culinary Outlook is located above the cafeteria. The students are serving the MFusion’s lunch menu in MC 209 from 11:15am-1pm Monday through Thursday, closed on Fridays. During lunch service, we will also have a great selection of pastries produced fresh from our Baking and Pastry students. In the evening, please join us for a Gourmet Bistro five course dinner; a la carte is available. Dinner is served Wednesdays and Thursdays only from 4:15pm-6pm. Both lunch and dinner services offer a great menu with a wonderful view from our terrace. We accept MasterCard, Visa, cash and CACM gift cards. Gift cards are available for purchase during service hours. Thank you for your continued support of the Culinary Arts/Culinary Management program.
CLASSROOMS and LABS
TYPES OF ROOMS. Math has classrooms on all four floors of the MS-100 building. The first digit indicates the floor number. For example, MS-209 and MS-213 are computer labs, and they are on the second floor. Math also shares the small MS-109 computer lab on the first floor. The labs require different keys from the general
301-1 perimeter key, which opens standard classrooms.
WHITE BOARDS, NOT CHALKBOARDS. Markers, refills, and erasers are in the MS215-V workroom. Contact Ken Kuniyuki at kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu if we run low.
REFILLABLE MARKERS. You are encouraged to use the V-Board Master refillable markers and refills in the MS215-V workroom, in part because their marks are easier to erase. Also, the markers almost never have to be thrown away. Even though Pilot (the manufacturer) recommends a limit of five cartridges per marker, instructors have used the same marker for years with many more cartridges.
---------------------------------------------
TO REFILL A MARKER:
1) Get a refill cartridge from MS215-V.
- It could be the same color as the one you're replacing ... or a different one if you'd like to experiment or if you find that the orange or green dye is hard to read.
2) Tear off the surrounding plastic at the small notch near the top.
3) Unscrew the bottom clear end of the marker. (This will get easier after your first refill.)
- Place it somewhere where you won't lose it.
4) Unscrew the used cartridge and discard it.
- First make sure the cartridge is empty! The classroom lights (and shaking the marker) can help.
- Do this over a trash can to avoid spills on the floor; there's rarely spillage, though.
5) Screw in the new cartridge. A tap can help.
- You should feel a small snap as the weaker end of the cartridge opens inside the marker. Make sure the cartridge is firmly set.
6) Screw on the bottom clear end of the marker.
---------------------------------------------
LOCK ALL DOORS AND SET THE ALARM WHEN LEAVING CLASS! Don’t risk the nasty note from administration … or jeopardizing your future employment with us! Many classrooms have two doors – some lock from the outside, some from the inside. Make sure glass doors stay closed; they sometimes swing back open.
DON’T LEAVE STUDENTS INSIDE WITHOUT AN INSTRUCTOR PRESENT. You may want to wait for the next instructor to arrive if the classes are basically consecutive.
ALARM CODES. You should receive an alarm code from administration or from Campus Police when you get your keys (ask if you don’t). Your code should work in all classrooms that you are authorized to enter, and it should help you enter the main office area from the back entrance. These codes have been buggy, but try your best to use them to secure the room when you are done.
Some guidelines for locking and arming rooms:
1) Classroom doors should always be locked when an instructor ends the class and leaves the classroom, unless the next instructor has already arrived.
2) If you are in a computer lab (MS109, MS209, MS213), then please enter your alarm code (to arm/set the alarm system) when you leave.
3) If you are the last instructor for the day in a classroom, then please enter your alarm code when you leave. (You can check with Ken to see if you are, in fact, the last instructor.)
4) If you are not in a computer lab and if you are not the last instructor for the day, then it may actually be better if you do not set/arm the alarm system. Some faculty have had difficulty getting (or accessing) their alarm codes, and the disarming process can be seen as a nuisance.
SETTING (ARMING) THE ALARM SYSTEM:
• First lock and secure all doors (double-check the glass ones), but don’t lock yourself out. Stay in the room.
• The alarm display should say “READY TO ARM.”
• Input your four-digit alarm code on the keypad and press “ENTER.”
• You have several seconds to open the front door and exit the room.
• Check to make sure the door is closed and locked behind you.
DISARMING:
• Enter the room using the "front" door that is closest to the alarm keypad. (Otherwise, walk briskly to the keypad.)
If you hear the beeps indicating that the alarm will go off soon ...
• Close that door. Close the other one if necessary.
• Input your four-digit code and press “ENTER” to disarm.
THESE ROOMS ARE LARGE! Consider:
• Using the microphone (see next two pages)
• Writing larger
• Not writing too close to the bottom; shorter students may be sitting behind taller students
STUDY / TESTING AREAS
MS-100 has glass study areas. Math has one near a corner of our main office area on the 2nd floor that we also use as a testing room (make sure the glass walls are clean except for maybe your “items allowed” list).
You don’t have to provide extended time for exams on your time; DSPS can take care of that.
Don’t write on the beige “frosting” of the glass walls. Otherwise, write away!
TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOMS / AV
See the YouTube video with Carlos Wales (done for the Social Sciences building, but our equipment seems similar):
PODIUM. The computer monitor is on a podium; the actual computer is inside.
Buttons on top of the podium are matched by buttons inside. Cables are available (not USB). The HDMI and VGA connectors can be used to display images from a laptop, for example. The podium itself can be raised and lowered by using the up and down arrow buttons.
CLASSROOM PODIUM KEY. Email MesaCTS@sdccd.edu for classroom podium keys and/or classroom podium training. Faculty must also include their availability in the email to schedule an appropriate time to meet. (Previously, faculty went to the LRC/AV to request a podium key. It is now handled by Printing and Mail Services.)
POWER SOCKETS. These are on the podium, as well as on the wall, so you don’t have to trip on a cable.
KEY TO PODIUM. A small key is needed to get into the podium. Mine has the image of a small tree on it.
MICROPHONE (“MIC”) USE. Place the clip on your collar. The mic should face your mouth. The hip pack can be placed in a pocket. There is a volume control knob inside the podium.
• Do not leave the mic on when using the restroom. At least put it in standby mode!
MIC BATTERIES. Two AA batteries are needed. You may want to bring spares or rechargeables. To change batteries, click the switch on the hip pack into “unlock” mode and press inward on the arrows. Four bars on the display = full power.
One bar (or “LOW BATT”) indicates that you must change the batteries. Call AV
(4th floor of the Library / LRC) for batteries, or check the MS215-V workroom.
TAKING VIDEO USING DOC CAMS. (Kim Tran)
A doc cam can record video with voice. You only need a USB drive with enough memory (~32gb); insert it into the USB port on the side, press the switch next to it from PC to USB, then press the video record button whenever you want to record. Of course you can also pause, or take a snap shot. It's a good feature if you have students with disabilities in your classroom who would like to have
a video of the lectures to view, pause, fast-forward, or put in slo-mo mode.

• Some lights are sun-sensitive; they dim when the sun is bright.
• Office hours: M-Th 7a-7p, F 7a-5p in Mesa Commons, MC-215.
ON vs. OFF vs. STANDBY
• PROJECTOR. Please turn the projector off when you are done, or if you are not using it for more than 30 minutes or so. Do not leave it in standby (“VIDEO MUTE” – which glows red) mode when class is over! If you are just taking a ten-minute break between projector usages, for example, then standby mode is preferable. The bulb burns out quickly, and it uses up energy even in standby mode. You may want to ask the incoming instructor after you (if any) if s/he needs to use the projector.
• PROJECTOR SCREEN. To raise it, give the bottom a good tug. It will retract automatically without requiring you to push it up.
• MIC. The hip pack is in the bottom drawer inside the podium. To turn it in on, press the button for several seconds. You should see a green light. To turn it off, press the button for several seconds. To put the microphone in standby mode from “green” mode, press the button and quickly release. When you are done with the mic, please turn it off; do not leave it in standby mode! Otherwise, the battery will drain overnight. (The nightly “deep freeze” will shut off other technology in the room, though make sure the projector is off.)
• DOCUMENT CAMERA. The on/off switch is on the side. You can freeze images.
• PC. The last instructor in a room for the day may turn off the PC, perhaps by pressing the blue-lit plastic power button for several seconds. This is not crucial, however, because the PC will be turned off in a “deep-freeze” at the end of the day, anyway. It’s good to turn it off if there is a large gap between classes, or if yours is the last of the day.
• ASSISTIVE LISTENING. The green-lit display can be left on. This device would require mic use. You would be notified ahead of time if you need to use it.
• LIGHTS. The lights closest to the doors will turn off on their own when no one is in the room for an extended period of time.
OFFICE HOURS
OFFICE HOURS
ADJUNCT FACULTY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO HOLD OFFICE HOURS. However, most do, and they are a great service for the students. They do not count for FLEX, though.
PAID HOURS. Fill out the adjunct office hours form in a timely fashion (apparently, no later than the second week of class if during the primary term) in order to be paid for office hours. Submit it with a hard copy of your syllabus to the Dean’s office in MS-301. Indicate the same hours as on the syllabus (location, days, and times – no “TBA” or “TBD”). There is a pool of money for adjunct office hours, so you might be paid for only some of your hours. No paid hours for Summer or Intersession, though. Mary will fill out “ID” and “Assignment Employment Record” for new faculty.
WHAT IS FTE (FTEF)? One FTEF (Full-Time Equivalent Faculty) is equal to 15 units.
LOGGING HOURS – DON’T WORRY. The district will take care of the log of hours; don’t worry. Faculty just need to submit the one-page form and the syllabus (containing days/times and location for office hours; you don’t need the total number of hours on your syllabus).
SPECIFY ONE LOCATION. On the adjunct office hours form and on your syllabus, if you want to submit for paid office hours, only put one location for office hours. If the location becomes overcrowded, leave a note saying where you will be.
• TUTORING CENTER (MT2C). A great place to hold office hours would be on the 4th floor of the LRC (library) (see p.35).
• STUDY AREAS. You may be able to work with students in one of our 17-or-so study areas in the building. This may be a good option if you are not assigned an office.
• YOUR CLASSROOM (OR ANOTHER ONE). Check with Ken to see when it is truly available. We cannot reserve the room, though, because other instructors have the right to use it, too.

Math faculty are on the second floor of the MS-100 building. New adjunct faculty may or may not be assigned an office. We may fill vacancies that open.
Some adjunct faculty are in adjunct offices, which can each accommodate up to six people. An adjunct office has two workstations – including computers, with up to three faculty assigned to each workstation. The login and password to the shared computer workstations should be the same as for your Outlook district email account. For a code for the printer / scanner / fax / copier, contact Ken Kuniyuki (for Math) at kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu … for additional help, contact David Fierro at dfierro@sdccd.edu
POST OFFICE HOURS clearly where everyone can see them.
PHONE
There has been an ongoing attempt to obtain phone numbers for adjunct faculty, but we don’t have them yet.
CLASS BREAKS
If your class meets for over two hours on the same day, take a 10-minute break. Primary-term, 3-unit classes meeting more than once a week do not take a break.
Remember to put the mic and the projector on standby if they are currently on.
• Do not leave the mic on when using the restroom. At least put it in standby mode!
BASIC SKILLS RESOURCES and MATERIALS ROOM (220A)
Mesa has Blackboard resources for basic skills classes, such as Basic Math (34A), Pre-Algebra and Study Skills (38), Beginning Algebra and Geometry (46), and Intermediate Algebra and Geometry (96). Any faculty member can log in without a Blackboard account, though the site is not intended for student use. (Sample exams are on the site.)

MATERIALS ROOM (MS220-A). This has manipulatives, rulers, group activities, models, conics, cross-sections for volumes in calculus, etc. Adjunct faculty need an extra key, which is on a long rod on a key ring between the mailboxes and the door.
PRINTING AND MAIL SERVICES (“REPRO” COPIES)
LOCATION. MC-215: Mesa Commons, top floor. Online ordering system:
Don’t procrastinate! They need enough time to make your copies.
FIRST WEEK’S MATERIALS. You should submit these (including syllabi) at least two weeks before the start of classes. Email a copy to your department chair[s] and to Mary at mitoste@sdccd.edu.
USE PRINTING AND MAIL SERVICES (FORMERLY “REPRO”) FOR MASS HANDOUTS. Please do not use the workroom printer / copier in MS215-V for mass copies to your classes. We don’t want to have to refill paper too frequently. You are identified by your code. Never use Mesa resources to print items for other colleges! If you do, you will have to pay for them yourself!
SCAN-TO-EMAIL. The printer / copier in MS215-V does have a scan-to-email option that can help you when you send jobs to Printing and Mail Services.
RUSH JOBS. The department is charged twice as much for jobs that are submitted within 24 hours of the time they are due. Saturdays and Sundays don’t count. If you submit something at 11am on Friday, then it counts as a rush job if it is due before 11am on Monday (assuming no holidays).
DELIVERY. If you would like orders to be sent to your mailbox in MS215-V, choose the “Deliver to Mailbox” option in the online ordering form; it is on the “Shipping” page. See the upper left of the page; the default is “Leave in MC-217.” Make sure to enter “MS215-V” for the mailbox line; many instructors still have “K-108B” listed. Save the information. If the order is too large, it may be placed on the counter in MS215-V. Allow for an extra day for your due date if you want delivery to MS215-V.
PACKAGES. Pick up packages at Printing and Mail Services in Mesa Commons
(MC-215).
PRINTER CODE. If you are assigned an office space, then you will also be assigned to a workstation with a computer. To obtain a printer code, contact Ken Kuniyuki (for Math) at kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu … for additional help, contact David Fierro at Printing and Mail Services: dfierro@sdccd.edu
PRINTING FROM SOMEONE ELSE’S OFFICE. Even if you don’t have an office space, you can print from any computer on the 2nd floor. Ask around.
FINALS. Remember that Repro will be very busy the last couple weeks of classes.
MESA JOBS ONLY! For personal items or items for other campuses, Printing and Mail Services can do them cheaply for you, but you will have to pay. There are various payment options. Do NOT use the department #!

- “Place My Order.” You should then get a confirmation order # by email.
TEXTBOOKS
DESK COPIES. You can get a free desk copy (e-copy?) of your textbook and maybe a solutions manual from the publisher’s representative, probably one of these:
Pearson. Kajal Shelat: kajal.shelat@
Cengage. Bob Schuh: Robert.Schuh@
TEXTBOOK REQUISITIONS. In later semesters, you will be asked to enter these yourselves when you get the notice from the Campus Bookstore that they will be taking orders for the upcoming term. I will supply information then.
SUPPLIES. On your requisitions, indicate any supplies you will be requiring. This includes calculators; also indicate whether you are requiring scientific or graphing calculators (if any). (Type of calculator? TI-83?)
EDUCATION CODE. We are legally bound to do the best job we can to report the costs of a class to students. This is why info on textbooks and supplies is important.
Even if you are using “free” OER (Open Educational Resources) materials, you should enter that information.
PICKING UP TEXTBOOKS. We have some textbooks and other resources in the MS215-V workroom (for Math). If you direct a textbook to be sent to your primary mailbox (in MS215-V), you will get a notice directing you to Printing and Mail Services in MC-215: Mesa Commons, 2nd floor. In the meantime, your home address may be best, especially if your MS215-V box has not yet been set up.
COURSE RESERVES / LIBRARY. At the library (LRC), a few desk copies of textbooks may be available for student checkout for two hours. Students should bring their student ID and (if possible) the name of the instructor who reserved the text.
No software. Old editions of textbooks and other books may be found on the third floor. The QA section has math books.
SYLLABI and CLOs (FORMERLY SLOs)
THE SYLLABUS IS YOUR CONTRACT WITH THE STUDENTS!
USE PRINTING AND MAIL SERVICES TO MAKE COPIES; DO NOT USE THE DEPARTMENT WORKROOM (IT’S MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TO PRINT THERE)!
COPIES. You should submit your syllabi to Printing and Mail Services at least two weeks before the start of classes. (See pp.23-5.)
REQUIRED STATEMENTS. See the Faculty Resource Handbook.
SAMPLE SYLLABI. Ask Ken: kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu
MINI-SYLLABUS? To save paper, you could hand out, say, a one-page mini-syllabus with basic info (contact, overall grading scheme, etc.), as well as a web link to the complete syllabus. A mini-syllabus should satisfy a student without ready Internet access. If you don’t want to do a mini-syllabus or online postings, you can always hand out the entire syllabus in class. You may want to have at least a few print copies of the full syllabus available for students. Please keep paper costs in mind. Remember that there may be many crashers (students trying to add) attending the first two weeks of your class; you may want extra copies for them.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs);
FORMERLY STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES (SLOs).
• You must have these on your syllabus.
• At some point in the term (not Summer), the CLO course coordinator(s) for your course(s) may ask you to give one or more CLO questions to your students.
They may be exam questions, separate ungraded (for classroom purposes) handouts, etc. You would then report the results to that course’s CLO coordinator. Your name will not be linked with results, and the results are not a basis for faculty evaluation. They may be given anytime during the term, but don’t teach to the questions.
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES (“SLOB”s). These are not the same as the SLOs/CLOs, and they do not have to be on your syllabi. There are usually many more SLOBs than SLOs/CLOs (there should be three SLOs/CLOs).
CURRICULUM. Course info is publicly available on CurricUNET.
You do not need to enter User Name / Password.
WARNING: Sometimes, the “Student Learning Objectives” are listed as “Student Learning Outcomes” (SLOs). Make sure you get the correct SLOs/CLOs from the emails that are sent out.
• In the left margin, under “Search,” click on “Course.” It’s easy to miss!
• In the “Subject Area” pull-down menu, select MATH. Pressing “M” will help.
• Enter your “Course Number.”
• Under “Colleges,” it’s OK to click on “All.”
• Now, it is OK to click on “OK.”
• You want the red-colored items labeled “*Active*.”
These are usually the most recent ones, but not always!
• Under “Actions,” click on “Co” for the course outline.
• Under “Actions,” click on “S” for a sketch syllabus (it may be too sparse).
SUBMISSION. Please email copies of your syllabi (in .doc, .docx, and .pdf formats, if possible) to the chairs. For Math: Gina Abbiate at gabbiate@sdccd.edu and also Assistant Chairs Ken Kuniyuki at kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu and Sandy Belew at sbelew@sdccd.edu … and Mary I. Toste (mitoste@sdccd.edu), who is the Dean’s secretary, by the first week of class. Try to send under a filename such as Kuniyuki_math 141.pdf
• Email string: gabbiate@sdccd.edu; kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu; sbelew@sdccd.edu; mitoste@sdccd.edu
CALENDAR. Academic calendars are at:
Spring Break and Thanksgiving Break are a full week long. Syllabi often contain tentative schedules of material covered and exams. We have no finals week; finals are typically given during the last class session (or two). See DEADLINES.
STUDENT REQUESTS. If a student asks for a syllabus to send to a transfer institution, please provide the student with the Course Outline of Record on CurricUNET. There may be complications with sending individual syllabi for this purpose.
PAID OFFICE HOURS. (See OFFICE HOURS, p.20.)
“MAY.” This may be a better word to use than “must” if you want flexibility.
ROSTERS, DEADLINES, and ATTENDANCE
ROSTERS AND GRADES. How do I access the class roster? Where would I input grades?
You will need your CSID to use Campus Solutions, which allows you to access rosters and grade sheets. Website at:
User ID is your CSID; faculty hired before 2019 use “000” followed by your old CSID number. Go to "College Faculty Dashboard" and then "College Faculty Schedule.”
FACULTY WEBSITE. Rosters, wait lists, and permission numbers (formerly add codes) are provided online before the first day of classes.
DYNAMIC ROSTERS. Students may temporarily appear on your rosters, but they will be dropped if they are not paid up within five days. You can click on the “Enrollment Status” drop-down and select “Dropped” to see who has been dropped.
VIEWING WAIT LISTS. At first, the class roster will show enrolled students. To see the wait list, go to the “Enrollment Status” drop-down and select “Waiting.”
EMAILING STUDENTS. You can do this through the online system. A character string of email addresses can be copied from the “Bcc” field when you try to email the whole class of students. When emailing all of your students in a class, make sure to use Bcc: and not Cc: for privacy purposes. You should help students prepare for the first day of class and warn them that parking will be awful the first week of class (arrive early!).
ATTENDANCE. See the DEADLINES section.
CRASHERS and PERMISSION NUMBERS (FORMERLY ADD CODES)
CRASHERS. These are students who are neither enrolled in a class, nor are they on the wait list, but they want to add the class. They will show up throughout the first two weeks (or one week for an 8-week class), particularly for the first class session.
NUMBER OF STUDENTS, CLASS CAPS, and SEATS. You are never required to give add codes and add students, but you are encouraged to add students up to the class cap (typically 46 for Math). Room MS220, our math education room, has a cap of 40. (There are also lower caps for the Math 15s, “X” classes, 92, 210AB, 212, and some 8-week classes. Some Fall caps initially appear to be reduced by a few students on the online schedule so that Summer fast-track / CRUISE students can add.)
You cannot have more students than there are seats in the room, typically about 54 for most math classrooms in MS-100. The number of working computers in a lab may also matter.
FIRST DAY OF CLASS. You have the right to drop any student who does not attend the first day of class. However, administration encourages us to show some leniency in this regard. Student parking is extremely difficult during the first two days of the primary term. Many faculty will not drop students because of a first-day absence, but they may drop them after a second-day absence.
PERMISSION NUMBERS (FORMERLY “ADD CODES”). Follow the online wait lists when assigning add codes (if at all). Beyond that, it is at your discretion, as is the number of students you add. You do not have to add any students. On the other hand, you cannot have more students than there are seats in the room. Hearing-impaired students may have two interpreters.
OPEN SECTIONS. Mention other sections that have openings. Check the online class schedule.
DEADLINES
REMIND STUDENTS! PUT THESE ON SYLLABI.
DEADLINE DATES. These are available on the online schedule:
CENSUS. This is around the end of the second week of a primary 16-week term, or the end of the first week of an 8-week class. (The actual technical deadline is usually the following Monday – or Tuesday in case of a holiday – at 11:59am sharp. Make sure to click on the appropriate Save/Submit buttons.) You must drop all students who are complete no-shows by census. Our census enrollment numbers are reported to the state, and it is key to our funding. Students who drop by census have no record of class activity on their transcripts. Students who drop after census will receive a “W” on their transcripts. (See WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE below.)
ATTENDANCE. You are required to submit attendance records for the first two weeks of class (in a primary 16-week term), or the first week of an 8-week class. You may take attendance after census for your reference; if attendance affects grading, you must state how in your syllabus. From the Faculty Resource Handbook:
• Attendance: If the final grade in a class is affected by attendance (active participation in the class), it must be stated in the class syllabus as follows:
• The final grade in this class will be affected by active participation, including attendance, as follows: (instructor to define specifically how attendance, including participation, will affect final grade in the class.)
Remember that attendance cannot be one of the grading standards for class grades, however participation can include the corresponding class points for participation.
You do not have to update attendance on a day-by-day or session-by-session basis. (Some instructors do use the main computer in class to record attendance.) You may input absences all at once when you submit in time for census. There is no difference between excused and unexcused absences on the online rosters (as of Summer 2014).
“FED” STUDENTS. You must also keep track of students designated on the rosters as “FED.” Many are on financial aid. Inactive “FED” students need to be dropped in a reasonably timely fashion (within 22 days for veterans; see p.11 of the 2015-6 Faculty Resource Handbook). If a “FED” student fails your class, you will need to enter a “Last Date of Activity” – technically, the last date of attendance (see the Faculty Resource Handbook) or last day of participation (particularly if an online class); absent that, perhaps try date of last email, date of last submitted work, etc.
This is one reason why instructors continue to take roll after the census date.
DROP SHEETS. You must submit the online drop sheets by the census deadline, even if you are not dropping any students. DROP FOR NONATTENDANCE ONLY.
You cannot drop a student based on performance. You may drop students for nonattendance, based on the policy stated in your syllabus. See STUDENT DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES for short-term removals based on classroom behavior.
STUDENT FOLLOW-UP. You may also report students who are having academic difficulty. An email will be sent to the student with counseling resources.
PASS / NO PASS PETITION DEADLINE. While this is good to have on your syllabus, this issue rarely comes up for instructors. If you assign a student a “C” at the end of the term, and the student is taking your class Pass / No Pass, then the grade registers as a “Pass.” This issue is best left to the student and his/her counselor.
WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE. This is around the end of the tenth week (excluding Spring Break and Thanksgiving Week) of a primary 16-week term, or the end of the fifth week of an 8-week class. As with the census deadline, you must submit online drop sheets by this withdrawal deadline. However, the rules as to who gets dropped are mostly dictated by your syllabus, as long as they do not violate district policy. For example, a student cannot be dropped for performance. A student can be dropped for poor attendance, provided your syllabus has clearly stated such a policy. All students who continue to be enrolled in your class after the withdrawal deadline must receive an evaluative grade (A-F, perhaps in Pass / No Pass form). They cannot be dropped short of extraordinary circumstances.
“W”s ON A TRANSCRIPT. Although these do not affect GPA, they limit one’s ability to retake a class as much as a “D” or an “F” would. Also, too many “W”s may lead to academic probation. A student typically doesn’t have to worry about a “W” or two. Sometimes, maybe for financial aid, a “D” or an “F” could be better than a “W.” Communicate with the student.
SELF-DROPS. A fair number of students (perhaps a surprising number) will voluntarily drop out of your classes.
REINSTATEMENTS. Sometimes, it is possible to reinstate a student shortly after s/he has been dropped, but communication should be key. It is very difficult to do a late withdrawal – military duty and medical issues are basically the only exceptions. See the Faculty Resource Handbook:
• Reinstatement of Students After Drop
Faculty may only reinstate a student if the student had been officially registered in the course and had dropped or been dropped by the instructor in error. Faculty may reinstate students via the Drop/Withdraw/Reinstate tab at up to the withdrawal deadline.
A student may petition to be reinstated in a class by completing the Petition for Schedule Adjustment form provided he/
she was officially enrolled and attending prior to add deadline. Schedule adjustments are not permitted after the withdrawal deadline.
The Petition for Schedule Adjustment form is available at
the college Admissions and Records Office or on Faculty Web Services under the Class Management Forms tab at . The instructor should emphasize that it is the student’s responsibility to return the petition to the Admissions Office by the deadline; otherwise, the student will not be officially registered or allowed to remain in the class.
CONTACTING STUDENTS. Remember that not all students have ready access to email, although computers are available on the 1st and 4th floors of the LRC (library).
Phone numbers may be necessary in some cases.
FERPA PRIVACY RIGHTS
From the Faculty Resource Handbook:
• The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records. In accordance with FERPA, and District policy, all student information such as name, ID number, mailing/e-mail address, telephone number, grade(s) and/or attendance should NOT be accessible to individuals without the written consent of the student, even if the student is a minor.
FINALS and GRADES
FINALS
NO FINALS WEEK. Final exams are typically given in your classroom on the last day of class, or maybe the last two days. While most finals are cumulative (that is, they cover the material from throughout the course), there are exceptions.
PARTIALLY ONLINE CLASSES. Ask the Scheduler (Ken) for a room for your
on-campus final if your class is otherwise online.
GRADES
NO MODIFIERS. We do not use “+” or “-“ modifiers on grades.
“D” OR “F.” If a student gets a “D” or an “F” in a class on a first attempt, the student will typically be able to retake the class. If the student passes the second time, the new grade will typically replace the old grade in terms of GPA computation, but the old grade still remains on the transcript. Further attempts may require petitioning, particularly after the third attempt.
The following typically require paper submissions:
INCOMPLETES. In exceptional cases where a student cannot take a final exam for “unforeseeable, emergency and justifiable reasons,” an “Incomplete” (or “I”) grade may be filed with the Dean’s office. The student must be otherwise passing the class (“C” or better). The following should be submitted:
• The appropriate form, which can be obtained from our faculty website.
Sealed in an envelope (in case you are unavailable after the term):
• A copy of the final exam (for example) to be administered to the student.
• A stated reason that must be approved by the Dean (not guaranteed!).
• The student’s grade in case the student never comes in.
• A copy of your syllabus.
If an “I” is approved, the student then has up to one year - or your own earlier deadline - to complete the work. You would then submit a grade change form.
If a student has missed the last several weeks of the semester, then a petition for late withdrawal may be more appropriate.
GRADE CHANGES. In case of error (or completion of an “Incomplete”), a grade change may be submitted. Grade changes may be readily done within a year.
GRADES – “FED” STUDENTS
If a “FED” student fails your class, you will be required to enter a “last date of activity.” (See p.31.) This is one reason why instructors continue to take roll after the census date.
GRADES - SUBMISSION
As long as you submit grades for all of your classes (including honors CRNs) by the deadline (11:59am?), it is the district's responsibility to post grades accordingly. I don't know what their timeline is.
TUTORING, WORKSHOPS, MATH 15s, and
GOING ONLINE
TUTORING (MT2C; RENOVATED FOR FALL 2016)
Katherine Naimark [knaimark@sdccd.edu] is the Math Liaison for Tutoring.
Contact her if you would like to hold office / tutoring hours on the 4th floor of the LRC (library).
From Mark Manasse, Instructional Learning Assistance Coordinator:
Tutoring has a new name and a new home.
The Academic Skills Center (ASC) is no longer in the Student Services Building…but has moved and merged with the Center for Independent Learning (CIL) in the Learning Resource Center (LRC [library]).
Tutoring is now called Mesa Tutoring and Computing Centers (MT2C).
Please come see us, and please let your students know they can find MT2C on the following floors of the LRC:
· LRC 1st Floor: MT2C General Tutoring (for subjects other than writing, languages, math, and science) and Computing
[to the left of the Café; computers are available]
· LRC 2nd Floor: MT2C Writing & Languages
· [LRC 3rd Floor: Books and Quiet Study]
· LRC 4th Floor: MT2C Math & Science Tutoring and Computing. [There will be group study rooms, computers and the open tutoring areas.]
[Spring 2017 hours were: M – Th 9am – 8pm; Fri & Sat 9am – 2pm.]
More information about MT2C coming soon (hours, subjects, etc)…but if you have any questions, please let me know!
Mark Manasse [mmanasse@sdccd.edu]
WORKSHOPS
Workshops on particular topics may be conducted in the MS-100 building on various dates. Emails may be sent out on these. Contact Katherine Naimark [knaimark@sdccd.edu] if you’re interested in doing one. You can get paid!
MATH 15s
WHO? WHY?
• The 15s are intended for students who have already seen the material but need to review. For example, a student may need to refresh trig while taking calculus.
• They may be a good idea for students who received a “C” in their prior course.
• The 15s may also be used to waive a class prerequisite, provided a student passes the on-campus final.
• Because the “X” classes have “15” components, there may be repeatability issues.
WHAT? These are one-unit, self-paced, computer (ALEKS)-based tutorials.
15A = Math 38 (Pre-Algebra)
15B = Math 46 (Beginning Algebra with Geometry)
15C = Math 96 (Intermediate Algebra with Geometry)
15D = Geometry
15E = Math 104 (Trigonometry; includes 15D review)
15F = Math 116 (College Algebra)
15G = Math 141 (Precalculus; not advertised)
• ABC and DEF come in blocks, each supervised by the same instructor.
Movement within a block is possible.
• Students who need to review Precalculus for Calculus should contact the 15DEF instructor. No student should take both 15E and 15F; s/he should take 15G.
No student should take more than one 15 at once.
WHEN? The 15s are six weeks long, since that is the length of the cheapest ALEKS license. The 15s start at different points in the semester. Students may purchase the license at even if they are not enrolled in a 15; some students may want to avoid a “W” (withdrawal).
WHERE? The 15s are partially online. Everything is online except for the on-campus final, which is for students who wish to waive a class prerequisite.
GRADING. These are Pass / No Pass. Many students just get what they need and do not bother to complete. Grade-wise, the resulting “W” is usually a major problem only if the student is on academic probation. The on-campus final is not necessary if a student is not trying to waive a class prerequisite.
WEBSITES / ONLINE PRESENCE (SEE LOFT INFO BELOW)
TRAINING. Some instructors use Canvas through the district. These can be good for student communication and such. However, you need to pass a 10-module-based online training program. A shrunken 5-module program is also suggested for non-district websites, since the info on students with disabilities is useful, and there is technically an issue of personal liability. The Vice President of Instruction's position (as of 2012) is that faculty using private websites need to do it.

CHALLENGING A PREREQUISITE
If a student feels that s/he knows the material in the class s/he is enrolled in and can move on to the next course, s/he can take a challenge/advancement exam. Students should be first directed to Jim Arnegard [jarnegar@sdccd.edu] at Admissions and then Chair Gina Abbiate [gabbiate@sdccd.edu] or Assistant Chairs Ken Kuniyuki [kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu] or Sandy Belew [sbelew@sdccd.edu]. No do-overs! The student should get a permission number (formerly “add code”) from an instructor first. (A student won’t be able to enroll in a class s/he is not formally qualified for.)
YOU CAN DO IT! From Toni Parsons: The challenge exam does not have to go through the department chair. If you would like to assess a student to see if s/he is ready for your class, you are entitled to do so. There should be some documentation attached to the petition form. The department chair [or assistant chair] is required to sign the petition, but the chair does not have to administer the test.
SAMPLE CHALLENGE EXAMS. Advise students to review the sample exams here …
to both prepare and also to allow the student to judge whether s/he is really up to it.
Some answers may be incorrect, though.
MATH 15. If a student passes the on-campus Math 15 final for the corresponding class, the student may waive the prerequisite. (See p.36.)
ACCOMMODATIONS (see also DSPS)
We have to accommodate military personnel, but within reason. If they’re going to be gone for too many weeks, then they shouldn’t be in the class.
DSPS (DISABILITY SUPPORT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES)
WEBSITE.
LOCATION. Room I4-404, on the 4th floor of the golden Student Services building.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES. If a DSPS student is in your class, you may or may not receive notification. There is no DSPS designation on rosters, and you are not responsible for identifying disabilities, yourself. It is the student’s responsibility to make use of the services DSPS has to offer. However, instructors are encouraged to refer students to DSPS, and DSPS should be mentioned on your syllabi. See p.3 of the 2015-6 Faculty Resource Handbook.
DSPS TEST PROCTORING. This is the issue on which faculty interact most frequently with DSPS. Extended time is the usual accommodation. Students who wish to take an exam in the DSPS proctoring area should give you the appropriate form at least a week in advance of the exam. The DSPS Faculty Guide at
says, “Students are required to schedule Proctoring appointments at least 5 working days before the date of the test.” Many students procrastinate, so reminders may help. You can indicate the time window in which the student can take the exam.
Rip the pink carbon off the request form and submit it with your exam to DSPS.
The exam can be emailed at dspsproctor@sdccd.edu. After the student takes the exam, it is sent to the MS215-V workroom in a red envelope (which should be returned to DSPS), or DSPS holds the exam for you to pick up, as per your request.
• You will be asked to submit Final exams well in advance.
INTERPRETERS. A hearing-impaired student may be assisted by two interpreters, who will need seats in the class. Keep this in mind when adding students during the add/drop period.
PODIUM DEVICE. Inside the classroom podium, there is a listening assistance device. The green-lit display can be left on. This device would require mic use. You would be notified ahead of time if you need to use it.
SYLLABI. See required statements in the Faculty Resource Guide (p.3 in the 2015-6 version).
HONORS CONTRACTS
HONORS WEBSITE.
HONORS CONTRACT WEBSITE (for students):
EMAIL: mhonors@sdccd.edu
WHICH CLASSES? Honors contracts cannot be done for classes below transfer-level; they are not done for math classes up through Math 96 (Intermediate Algebra & Geometry). Math 104 (Trigonometry) counts as transfer-level for the CSUs but not for the UCs. You may want to ask the student if the institution s/he would like to transfer to does, in fact, recognize (“honor”) our honors contracts.
ON-CAMPUS, 16-WEEK CLASSES ONLY! Honors contracts can only be done for
on-campus, primary-term classes in the Fall and Spring terms.
ARE WE REQUIRED TO DO THEM? No. If a student requests an honors contract in a class, the instructor is not required to provide one. In any case, have the student check to see if the transfer institution “honors” Honors.
CAMPUS SOLUTIONS. Honors students will no longer get separate Class Numbers (formerly CRNs); honors classes are still different. The transcript will indicate honors.
HONORS ASSIGNMENTS. In the online Honors system, you need to submit 3-6 assignments that the honors students will need to complete above and beyond those in the regular syllabus. There are many ideas for these:
• tutoring [being renovated; contact the coordinators. The necessary training might not make this a practical option, though.]
• book report on a related math book (a history book, a textbook, etc.)
• additional problems (the Schaum’s outlines may help)
• discussion with instructor
• in-class presentation
• … your own ideas … Honors is very accepting!
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY. It is the student’s responsibility to print out the online honors materials once you have given him/her the assignment descriptions. You need to sign off.
GRADING. Together, the honors assignments must be worth the equivalent of
25-33% of the grade in the regular class. For example, let’s say your regular class is graded out of 1000 points for the term. Then, the honors component must make up 250-330 points, for a total of 1250-1330 points. (There is some confusion as to whether it should make up 25-33% of the “new” class - maybe 333 to 500 points, for a total of 1333-1500.) An honors contract must have the number of points / % of the class grade that each assignment counts for. Indicate due dates.
DROPPING. The only way for a student to drop out of your honors contract is to drop out of the class. That is, an honors student cannot opt to be graded by your regular scheme at the last minute.
FLEX CREDIT. The Honors office will send out emails describing how you can get FLEX credit. In Spring 2017, it was 10 hours per honors student.
ROOM RESERVATIONS, EVENTS
With at least two weeks notice, the following portal can be used:
Partially online classes often have finals scheduled in this manner.
STUDENT DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES
WEBSITE.
STUDENT REMOVAL.
CHEATING. You cannot automatically fail a student for the class for cheating. However, if the denial of points leads to a failing grade, then that is permissible.
TEMPORARY STUDENT REMOVAL. A student engaged in highly disruptive classroom behavior may be removed from class for the given class session and the following class session. Make sure to do the appropriate paperwork.
SUBS and ABSENCES
FINDING A SUB / SUB AVAILABILITY. Ken Kuniyuki (kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu) will send out emails around the beginning of the term asking for sub availability. The sub list will be posted in the MS215-V workroom, and it will be available at:
• The ideal is to identify a "sub buddy" or two who can sub for you when necessary.
• The sub list can be useful if you know you will need a sub way in advance.
• If the people on the sub list are unresponsive, or if you need a sub with short notice, then contact Gina, Ken, and Sandy: gabbiate@sdccd.edu; kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu; sbelew@sdccd.edu;
• If you are frequently checking your emails (or your texts if giving out your text #), then you could email the whole department using the email list I have on my website and you can arrange the sub yourself:
I recommend using the "bcc" line so that there are no arguments - you can handle things one-on-one.
WHO TO CONTACT
Email your chairs, students, and school secretary Mary I. Toste ASAP if you will be absent:
• Gina Abbiate, Chair, MS215-K: gabbiate@sdccd.edu (x2398)
• Ken Kuniyuki, Assistant Chair / Scheduler, MS215-P: kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu (x2396). Warning: Ken is usually asleep mid/late-morning!

personal necessity – you do not need to be specific; not to your sub)
PEOPLESOFT
Enter absences and sub hours into PeopleSoft.
See Leslie Seiger’s PowerPoint at:
A typical, 2-day/week, 16-week, 3-unit class will be recorded as 1.7 hours per class session (2.3 hours for a 4-unit class, 2.7 hours for a 5-unit class).

The following comment for Personal Leave is frequently used:
Leave is for a personal event which is of such significance that to be absent from duty is a personal necessity.
Follow up on sub pay if you think you weren’t paid on your subsequent paycheck.
TIME REPORTING CODES
“Unit Pay” is for all teaching assignments. “Hourly” is for non-classroom assignments.
Paper Timesheets
If you need to enter time into the timesheet, but more than 30 days has passed, you need to print a paper Timesheet and submit it to the dean. See link below:
TIMELINES
DEADLINES. If you fail to report in time, then you may not be paid appropriately.
From the 2016-8 AFT contract:
11.2.9.3 Applications for personal necessity leave are to be submitted in
writing to the site administrator five (5) working days in advance. In
an emergency, (a personal event which an employee could not plan
and had no control) applications for personal necessity may be made
orally to the immediate supervisor and, upon return to duty, a
completed application for benefits, prescribed and provided by the
District, shall be filed.
By “in writing,” we mean PeopleSoft, though an email to Mary [and Gina, Ken, and Sandy] may be helpful: gabbiate@sdccd.edu; kkuniyuk@sdccd.edu; sbelew@sdccd.edu; mitoste@sdccd.edu
HOW DO I KNOW IF I GOT PAID FOR SUBBING?
There should be a “Substitute” line on your pay stub for the following 10th of the month … or the 10th after that. Pay stubs are available at:
• Click on “Employee Dashboard.”
• In the left column, click under “My Pay” on “View Paycheck.”
EVALUATIONS
LIST OF POTENTIAL EVALUATORS. Adjuncts being evaluated will be asked to give a list of three potential evaluators, who must be contract faculty. One of them will be selected to be your peer evaluator. Make sure they can come to your class, and ask them first. Contract faculty: do not put your name on more than three of these.
The Peer Evaluator should not have a class that completely overlaps the class(es) you teach. The Scheduler (Ken) can assist you.
STUDENT EVALUATIONS. These must be done during your first term at Mesa and at least as often as every six semesters. Since 2019, adjuncts have been required to conduct student evaluations every Fall/Spring term. You may be surprised at how early in the term you give these! In order for us to process your evaluation in a timely fashion (and to help determine assignments for the following term), you are encouraged to do student evaluations fairly early in the term. For example, if your first term is in Fall, we may want to have your student evaluations done by early October (early March for Spring). They should be processed in about two weeks. Usually, evaluations are just administered to one of your classes (your choice as to which) in a given term.
• Set aside about 20 minutes of class time to administer the student evaluations. Actually, a student volunteer technically administers (and submits) the evaluations, and you are not to be present. Instructions will be provided on the student evaluation packet you will receive in the MS215-V workroom.
ITEMS. Evaluees should give evaluators syllabi, sample tests, and other items such as handouts, projects, etc.
SIGNING THE EVALUATION. This means that you have seen it; it does not necessarily mean you agree with it. You may write a letter.
FLEX
Most faculty are required to satisfy a particular number of FLEX hours. This usually involves attendance at campus meetings and events. The general idea is “professional development.”
HOW DO I FIND THE FLEX SITE?
Here is the path to FLEX though Campus Solutions:
College Faculty Dashboard
Faculty Quicklinks
FLEX
HOW DO I LOG IN?
CSID: Enter your 10-digit CSID; it begins with 000 followed by your previous 7-digit CSID (if you are longtime faculty).
Password: Use your Campus Solutions / mySDCCD / myportal password;
it may be different from your previous password for FLEX.
WHAT ELSE IS DIFFERENT?
• The FLEX ID #s are now 3-digit, not 5-digit.
• You enter a phone # as part of your confirmation.
FLEX WEEK. Most faculty fulfill most of their FLEX hours during the week before the start of classes. However, FLEX can be done throughout a semester, up until the stated deadlines. Look for Math Department and School of Math and Natural Sciences meetings during FLEX week and throughout the term.
SCHOOL MEETING FOR ADJUNCT FACULTY (FLEX WEEK). This is not required, though helpful information (maybe on online rosters, FLEX, etc.) may be provided.
NEW FACULTY. You may not be able to log into the FLEX site if you are brand new faculty. It may be possible for you to get FLEX credit retroactively, though it would help if you signed in somehow at the event.
DEADLINES – PARTICULAR ACTIVITIES. For FLEX credit, you must register for an activity that you attend by the end of the date of the activity. (If you fail to do this, it is a hassle to get credit.) You can confirm your attendance at the activity later, though not after the overall FLEX deadlines. Check the “Yes” attendance button next to the listed activity and give the number of hours you attended.
DEADLINES - SEMESTER. IMPORTANT! Watch for those reminder emails. Usually the deadline for a given term is a few weeks before the end of the semester.
PENALTIES. If you do not fulfill your FLEX requirement, your pay will be docked at your hourly rate, and it may compromise our ability to rehire you.
[ALMOST] ANYTHING COUNTS. Any of the listed (standard) FLEX activities on the FLEX website, including those on other campuses (City, Miramar), will count. There are restrictions on FLEX activities for new syllabi, independent projects (indicate how they benefit instruction), etc.
ROLLING OVER FLEX. Additional FLEX hours completed from Fall roll over to the following (Spring) semester, but they do NOT roll over from Spring to the following Fall. Summers are irrelevant.
CLASS VISITS. Something new for Fall 2014: You can get up to 10 hours of FLEX credit for visiting other classes (not necessarily math). Contact the instructor you will be observing first, though! Make sure you are not doing this during your office hours. Check the description on the FLEX website.
NOT REQUIRED FOR SHORT-TERM CLASSES (e.g., 6-, 8-, 10-WEEK). FLEX is only required for 16-week classes during a Fall or Spring term. It is not required for other classes, nor during the Summer. ACP / Legacy do not require FLEX.
CONFERENCES (such as AMATYC, its local branch CMC3-S, AMS/MAA). These are great for professional development and for job searches. Travel forms must be submitted via PeopleSoft. The department may have money to help people pay for registration.

SCHEDULING
SCHEDULING WEBSITE / FORMS.
Ken will email this link when request forms for a later term become available.
BUMPING. This is what schedulers and adjunct faculty dread. Bumping occurs when, for example, a senior faculty member takes a junior faculty member’s assignment. The junior faculty member may be assigned a less desired assignment or no assignment at all.
TIMING. Mesa usually gives faculty their schedules well before other local colleges do.
LEAVING MESA
We hope you won’t too soon, but you should leave your keys with Campus Police and a forwarding address with Mary and Ken.
