Anderson's article paints a bleak picture of the adjunct professors working condition. Maybe, they should follow the path of their tenure-track colleagues and unionize. Have they traveled down this path before? #EDL763
The article by Gardner touches on a reality often experienced in the business world. Young professionals entering the job market are often much faster than senior workers; but, can they replace all that knowledge and experience? #EDL763
When I become a part-time adjunct professor, I want to provide students with a solid foundation to build upon. I would consider myself very fortunate if I inspire students to continue studying a subject while preparing them to do it, as noted in the article by Weissmann #EDL763
The articles/readings this week have a central theme regarding a women's ability to go up the ladder. It is still dependent on the generation of men who influence society. I would wager the majority of their wives are homemakers. #edl763
Mason's article reminded me of my mother. She was accepted in the nursing program at Providence Hospital. I remember her smiling at the instructors/administrator's astonishment when five young kids showed up at her graduation. Now I understand why. This was 50+ years ago. #edl763
As I read the faculty interview papers, the love of teaching and the students was a common theme. They continue to pursue this discipline despite a lower salary; job insecurity; service requirements and research demands. #edl763
Although I was surprised of the information in the https://t.co/s85G8yR3Lx article, I should not have been. I know an adjunct who teaches a core accounting class. She has no input regarding the textbook or exams; however, she can create quizzes. ๐ #edl763
The article, "The Professoriate's Perilous Path", briefly mentioned how the usage of "outsourcing" or expert providers will expand. Their personal experiences may enhance a lecture; however, the contribution is finite or limited to their expertise #edl763
I hope to impact the freshman student learning Internal Auditing. I would like to leave my class with a solid foundation of the curriculum with the knowledge of how their work may impact other lives, especially in healthcare field. #EDL681
#EDL681..A bad learning experience was a political science class where the instructor talked for three hours. I set in the first row and felled asleep. When I woke up, I was embarrassed, but blamed him. Now I am considering what impact it may have had on the instructor.
#EDL 681..A good learning experience was my first graduate accounting course. It allowed students to drop the class and enroll in a refresher course after the first exam. I struggled to get a B+ on the exam. I took the refresher class and learned the value of a solid foundation.
