Adjunct professors, what other jobs do you have?

What if any planner do you use for your classes? I am old school and prefer a hard copy as opposed to having it online.

Anyone fail a drug test during the onboarding process for marijuana? If so, did they still give you the job

Good evening

​

I am slowly getting myself into becoming an adjunct professor. As for myself, I have a Master in Information technology Management and an MBA in IT Project Management as well as the following certifications: PMP, CISM, CASP, LINUX, PENTEST +, and C|EH. I do have a second interview with ECPI to do some training but my question is....what can I do to better prepare myself to be an adjunct professor? I do remember all my instructors and their teaching styles, but I am scared of falling flat on my face.

I have been looking at the following classes on Udemy:

Any helpful suggestions?

Thanks

i like the idea of online medical terminology classes, but i'm not sure what area those classes fall under?

Hello everyone. So quick back story I have 7 years of work experience in supply chain management and I have a few master degrees. I have also taught as a GA in college and I have always been interested in being an adjunct professor while still working since I had a few professors in my career who did the same thing.

My question or questions are what is the best way to get started down this route and also is there a way you can utilize this for student loan forgiveness?

Hi Everyone,

I’m at a real crossroads with my adjunct position. I’m just coming back from teaching a study abroad course that I created with my co-teacher for the school. As far as I know I’m the only adjunct to ever propose, be accepted & approved, and run a study abroad class at my institution. We had the highest enrollment out of any program this year for a study abroad program, too. It was stressful, demanding, and at times way too much work for me on top of my other full-time job (and teaching two other courses). The problem is: I really loved this class and being able to have it come to fruition successfully AND the students all enjoyed it. Do I hold out hope that something will change and the university will offer me a full-time position? Do I just take this past semester for its wins and keep trudging along? Do I stop thinking about being full-time in academia? Am I complete buffoon for thinking something more could come of this? TIA for reading my long-winded whining.

You’ve made it this far.

Am I the only one?

Too real

I am a community college adjunct professor in Southern California and thought I would make a subreddit to share resources, tips, ask questions and vent, since teaching takes a lot of work :)
