Yes, folks, adjunct teaching is not for sissies (or anyone who values their free time). I feel as if I've been buried beneath a ton of paperwork, which not only includes coursework, but pre and post class work (aka homework) as well as online assignments (since this is what they call a hybrid class).
I have seven log in IDs for various systems I have to interface with, including e-mail, one of three (including paper) attendance systems, two grade books and one learning management system for professors.
I am expected to call each student if they don't show up. If that doesn't work, I have to send follow-up e-mails.
To make my life even more interesting, the course management system administrator merged two sections of the class (mine and the day section) into one class. They've finally separated us, but the students are still confused.
This is a good experience...of what not to do.
Stay tuned!
