Course Material

Faculty must submit their course syllabus within one week of the beginning of classes. This should include the items appearing on the course material checklist contained in the collective bargaining agreement: Form DE-l for online courses and Form DCE-El for all other courses. The College must maintain the confidentiality of this material.  Please note that DCE faculty enjoy academic freedom which provides for professional latitude in fulfilling one’s contractual obligations in this regard.  An Interaction Plan (Form DE-2) must also be submitted for distance education courses.
 
There is no contractual timeline for the return of the Course Materials Checklist form by the College to faculty.  However, the College should act reasonably regarding the return of this evaluation form.

Instructors have the right to choose their text book(s).  The exception to this is when it is a departmental selection and DCE faculty are given an opportunity to participate in the decision making process, or when the appointment is made as the semester is to begin.

The DCE Collective bargaining agreement and other relevant documents are available on the MCCC website http://mccc-union.org/dcecontract.htm.   A hard copy of the DCE contract can be obtained from your local MCCC chapter.
