Adjunct Faculty Summary of Responsibilities

Adjunct faculty will

  1. Comply with all approved course guidelines, texts, policies, and procedures provided through the Department Chair, College Catalog, or other official source.
  2. Distribute course information sheet and syllabus to all students which clearly state course objectives, requirements, assignments as well as grading criteria. (Department Chair may furnish these to faculty if a standard syllabus is used.) One copy of the syllabus must be submitted to Department Chair if a standard syllabus is not used.
  3. Adequately prepare for every class with the knowledge and materials required to teach the class. Class activities will be conducted in such a manner as to communicate effectively with the majority of students in the classroom (explanation of contents, answering of questions, lecturing, etc.).
  4. Use examinations and/or other instruments which measure specific learning objectives.
  5. Maintain accurate attendance and progress records. These are crucial to both the students and the College particularly when resolving grade and/or course progress disputes between students and faculty members.
  6. Check mailbox before each class. This will allow the faculty member to receive information pertinent to the class or to students prior to conducting the class. It is also a good idea to check mailboxes after class in the event personal messages are taken while class is in progress.
  7. Teach assigned class(es) at location and time assigned, with the established text and other supplementary materials.
  8. Meet classes at the prescribed time, and for the duration of scheduled time; exceptions must be approved by supervisor.

  10. Participate in required College orientation/instructional development meeting(s) as notified, and in the official process of the evaluation of instruction.
  11. Assist in maintaining effective laboratories and equipment and/or in the coordination of clinical and field experiences (if appropriate).
  12. Meet all College timelines for submitting student records, as well as personnel/employment records as notified.
  13. Establish and maintain effective working relationships with students, colleagues and supervisor
