As an online faculty member, I instruct communications and humanities courses that emphasize writing, research, critical thinking skills, avoiding bias, and time management. In my assessment of student work, I grade assignments for content, style, grammar, mechanics, and following instructions with rubrics and extensive written feedback. Each week, I provide students with several discussion prompts. I monitor these online discussions for participation, appropriate language, and subject matter, and I contribute to the discussions with additional materials, thought-provoking questions, and by asking students to expand on an idea or clarify statements. I assist students with questions and concerns by suggesting courses of action for further improvement or by directing them to appropriate resources. I take appropriate action when students do not meet course requirements or violate academic policies. As part of my career development, I frequently participate in workshops and online meetings to improve my instructional skills and to become a more effective contributor to the academic community.
