Online Adjunct Instructor - Online Adjunct Instructor Utah State University Employee Review

Pros

As an online adjunct instructor you have a fair amount of flexibility and autonomy in designing your curriculum and carrying out best practices (methods for giving feedback, for example). You're free to use other instructors' ideas but also free to develop your own content, provided it aligns with the course objectives. This approach allowed me to create my own interactive syllabus, which has been helpful for my own professional development.

Cons

As with probably most adjunct roles, you're not paid very much. And unfortunately there are times when you feel like a number, even when you think you have built relationships with the supervising staff.

Pros

Academia is a more relaxed atmosphere than a for profit business. Most of the people I work with are very kind. And the summers are amazingly quiet.

Cons

The pay is very low. My position was just created and the base pay is $50k. However, the raises here only come if you leave your position and move to a different division within the university. It is commonly said that if you want a raise or a promotion you have to go somewhere else.
