Science Adjunct Faculty

Northwest Iowa Community College is a progressive learning college rapidly responding to the global needs of our changing community

Duties include:

• Teaching graduate and undergraduate students in a specific field of expertise
• Developing and managing the class syllabus and ensuring that the syllabus meets department and college standards
• Planning and creating lectures, in-class discussions and assignments
• Grading assigned papers, quizzes and exams
• Assessing grades for students based on participation, performance in class, assignments and examinations
• Collaborating with colleagues on course curriculum
• Advising students on how to be successful in class
• Staying updated on innovations and changes within their course field
• Many of the duties expected of tenure-track professors are not required by adjuncts. Contingent faculty do not have to conduct research, publish papers or attend staff meetings and events. 
• Adjuncts are often hired to teach a specific course that regular faculty may not have expertise in or courses that have great demand. These positions require great flexibility and provide the opportunity to give back to the community.
