Dental school administrators ought to make
decisions concerning the assignment of faculty members to departments based
upon actual teaching load for each department. This study offers a method to
quantify an equitable teaching load among dental faculty, hence, among
departments. Actual load in clock hours was computed for all four departments
at King Saud University College of Dentistry. Results showed that while some
departments are reasonably loaded, others have a teaching load that is heavier
or lighter than the equitable work load figure.
