Due to public misunderstanding of the unit-load measurement versus the hours per week standard of work measurement, a study was conducted at Humboldt State College to determine the average number of hours a full-time instructional faculty member spends in performing his job. Faculty activity data was collected by means of a daily-diary form of questionnaire during a 1-week survey period. Findings show that faculty members at Humboldt not only carry over the budgetary norm of 12 weighted teaching units, but they also spend an average of 57.1 hours per week in fulfilling their duties.
