This might include having adequate staff support to allowfaculty to excel in their teaching and scholarship work: The staff critical from every perspective. They support … the advising side; we have laboratory facilities where staff are critical in making sure that the facilities are up and running and information technology that everything is working the way it should. (Female faculty member, doctoral university)On the other hand, tight budgets or some management decisions left faculty feeling frustrated andunable to do their jobs in a way that was satisfying for pursuing their autonomy: So it’s a direct result of having resources cut and creating an almost toxic

schedule was modified to include two 75-minute recitation periods and one 50-minutelecture/assessment period each week for a total of 3 class meetings in a week. The number of coursecredits did not change, but the additional 50-minute period was assigned as a mandatory section that hadto be added for the students taking each course. The justification for additional seat time is similar to howphysical laboratories are viewed within the Carnegie unit system—the out-of-class time associated withrecitation time is less than pure lecture because a lot of the work is done in class.One implication of this approach was that we needed different rooms for lecture and recitation. A quirk ofthe university’s classroom reservation system resulted in needing to

Among thecourses included in the survey, no consistent trend was evident on effectiveness of breaks withinspecific courses.Students were asked to report on how many of their courses included breaks. Results shown inFigure 4 indicated that breaks are not universally applied in all classes. However, as shown inFigure 7 and Figure 8, regardless of the number of courses that offer breaks, the percentage ofstudents who reported a positive effect of breaks on their ability to focus and learn was five toten times greater than the number of students who reported a negative
