[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG that's so little for what seems like alot of work. what's the upside?[/quote]

People who want to transition into full-time teaching at a college but need experience (adjuncting first). By “teaching full time” I mean full time lecturer, not tenured professor.[/quote]

It doesn’t work this way. That is the “dream” they sell many oversubscribed PHDs who did not land a tenure track position. Universities rarely transition an adjunct or term faculty into a full time tenure track position with job security and benefits and decent non poverty wages. If you adjunct you do it for the love of teaching, mentoring, exposure to the newest trends/theories in your field, maintaining a university connection including the faculty ID cars which gets you access to resources like discounted software at “educational” prices rather than market rate.

PP here. I specifically said “full-time lecturer, not tenured professor.” Many universities hire full time “lecturers” who may not even have a PhD but whom have teaching experience & experience working in their field professionally. This is common in subjects like marketing, law, accounting, finance and management. [/quote]

"Full-time lecturer" is not common in law schools.  I don't understand why there are so many people in this thread with zero experience with law schools commenting.[/quote]
