But it <i>is</i> a solo role. There is no team, no procedures, no policies.<p>I taught math as an adjunct at a Big Ten university with a prestigious math department several years ago. I never once met with any member of the faculty, even my supervisor, and nobody ever observed my teaching. All of the sections of the course that I taught had the same syllabus and exams. I had students from other sections sitting in on my lectures.<p>As for hearing from faculty, oddly enough I was on the other side of the issue as well, since I also taught the 3rd year &quot;weeder&quot; course in electrical engineering. My students were woefully unprepared in math despite N semesters of calculus in the math department. Once during a break in the activity, I asked my engineering students how the university could improve engineering education. Their consensus: Better math teaching.
