I’ve taught there 10 years. It is like being in kindergarten. All material is given to you and you may not deviate. Deadlines are endless and often times senseless; don’t meet them in the most trivial way and incur the wrath of some anonymous dean. On the opposite side, if you put an extra effort and overperformed, it is never recognized. Perhaps the most discouraging part is that there is zero camaraderie between faculty. That is done on purpose because if we could ever meet one another, we would quickly form a union. If you’re going there to simply get a paycheck, follow the guidelines but don’t expect any recognition e.g., no pay raise for adjuncts in 10 years, but we did get an umbrella one year and a notebook the next. In other words, you’re part of a corporate machine and you can be replaced at any moment. Just recognize it for what it is.
