- WSCH - Weekly Student Contact Hours - Weekly Student Contact Hours per Full Time Equivalent Faculty = Total FTES x 525 ÷ 17.5 ÷ FTEF. This calculation measures the efficiency of the student to faculty contacts. A higher result indicates more students served by fewer faculty hours; a lower result indicates fewer students served. This measure must be considered in relation to the type of class; some courses must meet other requirements that lowers the student to faculty measure. For example, courses with limited enrollments due to regulations such as nursing clinical classes (limited to 12 students) will have a lower WSCH than a course taught using large group instruction.
- WSCH/FTEF RATIO - A ratio of the number of students enrolled per work effort of instructional faculty. This ratio can be measured on a class section by class section basis, on a departmental basis, a college-wide basis or a District-wide basis. This ratio represents a “class-size” measure for the District.
