Pros

Given previous instructor’s coursework, but didn’t like how base-level it was for an advanced course.

Cons

Absolutely zero departmental guidance. Land of the adjuncts. No direction or CLOs to speak of. Was given the precious instructor’s syllabus and pre-made Pearson slides - that was it. Had to pull teeth to even figure out the course schedule and curriculum requirements. Pay is about average for adjuncts. Was told that I would be teaching lecture and lab component, but had a master’s student take over lecture (they had never taught the course before). Absolute administrative nightmare.
