Loves to be with students. He just doesn't seem to grasp that he should probably be teaching the course material, responding to emails, and actually grading and giving quizzes fairly. He seems oblivious and doesn't realize that he is. | |

And frankly it seems that pay scales for adjunct professors are still based on that system, since they often only get paid for hours spent in the classroom. Nothing for preparation of lectures. Nothing for learning online systems and training. And nothing for grading. So keep in mind this person is minimizing effort they probably aren't paid for anyway. Their dept, meanwhile, will try to gently press them to spend more of that unpaid time, but they clearly have limited leverage. | |

But frankly, I don't think it should be if this is how he intends to teach. The thing is the majority of these quizzes aren't even available to take online. He just sends us the answers to 'study' and says he will just give us all free points for them. | |
