OFFICE HOURS: ADJUNCT
|
Although adjunct faculty are not required to hold office hours to help students who need extra help with course material, you are expected to make time available—before, during or after class—to answer questions about grades or class procedures. An option you might try is to occasionally devote a short period at the beginning or end of a regular class session for "office hours" type activities or for questions about course material. If you wish to have office hours you can use your classroom (if it is open). Check with your department chair to see if your department has a conference room that may be available for office hours. Check with your department chair to see if any of the full time faculty members in your department are willing to share their offices. Some adjunct faculty use the staff lounge to meet with their students. Time spent in office hours counts as flex time for adjunct faculty.
