What is an adjunct?
A. Adjunct instructors are hired on a course-by-course basis to teach courses for the department. These instructors set their own course requirements and assign grades just like regular full-time faculty members. As a student, you have the same responsibilities and rights in courses taught by adjunct instructors as you do when courses are taught by regular full-time faculty members. Adjunct faculty have a long-term relationship with the department as researchers, instructors, and professional supervisors.
