Roving Subs are essentially “on call” as some jobs will be posted in advance for me to communicate with the professor on what task should be achieved for the class on the day to adhere to their course plan. Sometimes, it was very last-minute, requiring me to be quick-to-react with a lesson plan suited for the class's subject. I have taught Multi-Level studio (Undergraduate - Graduate) courses ranging from Animation to traditional figure painting for faculty members like José Lerma, Dan Devening, Cecilia Beaven, Andrew Falkowski, Jo Hormuth, Don Southard, Mari Eastman and more.
