Action Research Breakdown`

Dual placements mailed their proposal to their 1st placement liasion, not the second. We might need to eliminate the need to do both.

Here is my action research proposal. I am sorry I didn't send it to you. I didn't realize it was supposed to be sent to our second placement liaisons and Dr. Sapp didn't remind us of that. Let me know if you need anything else!

Note: Under any circumstances (not including contractual courses releases) a faculty member would be expected to teach at least 18 combined credit hours in the fall/spring semesters.

Note: There will have to be some restriction related to section enrollment. A low enrollment course (e.g. less than 12) would not count as a “graduate” course” for load purposes.
