ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR FAQ 1. Course Materials: The course syllabus and materials have been prepared for you by the Faculty Steward of that course. You can change the course schedule dates and teaching methods, but not assignments and content. Significant changes can only be made with prior Faculty Steward approval. Note that the syllabus for each course is an agreement between the faculty and the student. 2. Class Meetings: Instructors are expected to meet with their students of each course session for the full length of the course. If you are absent due to illness, post a lesson on MyGateway that students can complete. You should send your students an e-mail and you should also post a notice of class cancellation, as soon as possible, on your MyGateway course site. 3. Copies: All course materials should be on the MyGateway site rather than making paper copies. If you must request paper copies be made for your classes for exams or quizzes by the university copy service. The request should be made at least 48 hours in advance. Request forms are located in 269 Marillac Hall. Submit requests to Faculty Services in 269 Marillac Hall in person or in a detailed email with the document attached ([email protected]). If you have EMERGENCY needs for copies, swipe your UMSL ID in any UMSL copier. There is a limit of 50 emergency copies per semester. 4. Support Staff: Please check your mailbox each time you teach. If you are teaching off-campus, the administrative assistants can mail your mail to your home if you notify them periodically ([email protected]). For instruction concerns contact [email protected] 5. Course Evaluations: Course evaluations are completed at the mid-point of the term and at the end of the term. You will receive an e-mail to sign up for mid-term evaluations. The results provide opportunity for mid-course corrections. Towards the end of the semester, your students will receive an email informing them how to log in and how to complete these evaluations. The link to course evaluations is on MyGateway home. You can encourage your students to participate by taking them to the TLC or giving points for proof of completion or extra class time to complete them on their own devices. You may NOT remain in the classroom while your students complete the evaluation. After grades have been submitted you will receive an email letting you know how to log in and see the results of your evaluations. You can log in before the end to see how evaluations have been completed. 6. Grade Appeals: Students may challenge grades. This usually occurs if you do not give students regular feedback. Please be sure to provide grades in your class MyGateway site before mid-semester. Make sure your syllabus and the points awarded for a grade are clear. Include deductions for late work. You can see the Appeal Process on page 25-26 of this Handbook. 7. Campus Safety: If you are teaching in the evenings and do not feel safe in the building or walking to your car, please do not hesitate to contact campus security for an escort. They can be reached through the red phones in the hallway or by dialing 5155 or any phone 314-516-5155. Please report any suspicious activity or anyone loitering in the hallways. Safety posters are located in hallways. Be familiar with these procedures. 8. UMSL Email: Students expect that faculty will communicate with them via e-mail. Make sure to check your UMSL e-mail account regularly or request that it be forwarded to one you check often. 9. Students with Disabilities: Unlike K12 education, it is the students’ responsibility to identify themselves as requiring accommodations for special needs before class meetings begin; this means that instructors should not make accommodations for individual students unless requested to do so. (Disability Access Services, MSC 144, 516-6554)
10. Student Supplies: Student are expected to provide their own general supplies and, within reason, materials for the course. Be sure to list items you expect the student to provide in order to succeed in the course. The Faculty Support has limited office supplies for faculty use. 11. Using MyGateway: MyGateway-http://mygateway.umsl.eduQuestions about MyGateway or other technology that is available for your use should be directed to the Technology and Learning Center (TLC) in 100 Marillac Hall (516-4800) or to the Information Technology Services (516-6034), Faculty Resource Center (516-6704). Both have websites and help desks. The ITS Faculty Resource Center offers training classes and a calendar for topics is listed on their website. The TLC staff will help you with individual questions and provide you support for the equipment found in that center. 12. Parking: You will receive a temporary parking permit until you are able to register your vehicle with campus parking. http://www.umsl.edu/%7etransportation/
