Indiana University

Is this your company?

Lots of flexibility, not much mentoring or involvement in the IU community - Adjunct Instructor (South Bend, History/Philosophy Department ) Indiana University Employee Review

Pros

- Lots of freedom: there are no meetings to attend, I get to choose my own books for my courses, and there are pretty much no controls on how I teach. - Office space: Nice office space, and I share an office with only one other person. - Flexibility in scheduling: Department chair has always been quite accommodating about working with my preferred schedule

Cons

- The lack of meetings and lack of constraints is great in some ways, but it also means there is really no mentoring, and I feel rather unconnected with my department and with the IU community in general. - I don't envision any possibility for a full-time position here--I'm restricted to part time only.
