    So do I. If I could get a gig at the University of Gibraltar, I'd dump my practice tomorrow and move to Spain on Monday.

    Received access to my Economic Foundations of Finance course at a new university today…finally. Class starts August 14th and there is ZERO work done on the blackboard shell for the course. I have the rest of this week to build the course on top of my full-time job. Yippee!

    I thought I’d at least have something to work with and change up being this late of an addition. Lol

    If it’s canvas is there an import from commons area? Some schools are just bad at telling you there are course shells you can import.

    It is on Blackboard. I’ll check this evening to see if there is any option. There is another professor teaching it face to face so I will see if she has anything I can piggy back off of to provide some uniformity/consistency.

    Right. At 80, my eyes are still OK. It's my mind that plays tricks. :)

    I teach forensic science at an R1 university, and they tried to convince me to apply for professor positions, but it would result in a big pay cut for me. Interestingly, the universities with the worst reputations have been the least likely to grant me interviews. This is my impression of the adjunct job market, but other people's experiences may vary.

    1. For-profit and online/non-traditional non-profits and public institutions mostly care about online teaching experience, which is intriguing since they often have canned courses with no lectures. Some of them also think a doctorate looks better for them even if the job only requires a master's degree; they don't care where the doctorate comes from as long as the school is regionally accredited. But even with a doctorate, not having online teaching experience makes you less competitive. Non-traditional universities also like to see related work experience for marketing purposes, but they don't care about the quality of that experience.

    2. Community and junior colleges prefer job experience that is related to the subject the instructor will be teaching. Having 18 credits or even a graduate degree in the subject is often not enough due to the competition among applicants.

    3. Traditional universities see value in face-to-face teaching experience and the quality of the applicant's alma mater. For certain fields, they also like to see related work experience, but they're often looking at the prestige of the position.

    You can go on Reddit and read posts from those on hiring committees. They expose all their biases. The strongest bias I've noticed is against those who've earned science degrees from conservative, Christian and Mormon universities.
