I meant <i>Lumpenprofessoriate</i> of course... the disposable, eminently replaceable kind of teaching staff that does massive amounts of work for minimal retribution.Doréushttp://doreus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-4051289794379145062018-07-19T00:46:11.563-04:002018-07-19T00:46:11.563-04:00Ah!

I hope the experience is worthwhile for you and that you can eventually transfer that learning to other, more rewarding, teaching contexts.Doréushttp://doreus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-42878334113262760252018-07-17T16:55:08.844-04:002018-07-17T16:55:08.844-04:00Trevon and Doréus, I teach for a large online univ...Trevon and Doréus, I teach for a large online university. They have the class set up, we just basically monitor it and provide feedback to the students and grading. They expect us to respond to every single student. It’s a bit overwhelming, bu Tim getting used to it. The training I had to go through for this was really rough and tedious. I’d prefer it if I were the one doing the preparation, but that’s not how this university works. They want everything as standardized as posss.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-53977028635846087632018-07-17T03:43:06.962-04:002018-07-17T03:43:06.962-04:00Typically, online teaching requires oodles of prep...Typically, online teaching requires oodles of preparation and the actual teaching is easier when that is done.

I'm an online adjunct instructor at a community college, hoping for a full time faculty position in the future. I appreciate the freedom I have in the "classroom." But, I am also exploring other opportunities and wondering what other institutions are like.Trevonnoreply@blogger.com
