Does your institution have any set policies re what courses adjuncts may or may not teach? I have noted what appears to be consistent policies in some community colleges deep down in Florida.Adjuncts appear to be relegated to teach Intro and what could be construed as touchy feely courses like Human Growth,Psychology of Personal adjustment,Stress management, Human Sexuality(no pun intended) and so on.In the four-year colleges adjuuncts seem to teach a variety of courses.It will be interesting to hear from other tipsters about that. I am curious how it is up North(I mean Canada). I have also noted tha adjuncts tend to disaapear around accreditation time(Maybe some are teaching what they should not be teaching (Accrding to accreditation guidelines) Are adjuncts at your institution able to propose a new course and teach it? Can this be subsumed under Special topics? And how do you feel about adjuncts being bumped off a course to make way for a full time prof who is short of a course? Should adjuncts be present at graduation? Anything else?
