Since the success of our departments depends on the crucial work of part-time faculty, we need to create a space where their concerns about their careers are heard and validated. Our hope is that other departments develop initiatives similar to the English department's Graduate Student and Early-Career Support committee, which supports graduate students and early-career adjuncts.
CETLS recently hosted a session at which faculty shared their experiences with COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning), an opportunity for classes at BMCC to connect with other classes around the world.
My teaching experience at BMCC—and previously, at Fordham University—has proven that performance-based assignments help students connect with material that might on first blush seem difficult, foreign, and strange.
