Welcome to Part-time Teaching
at the University of Georgia

2007 - 2008

In your role as a part-time instructor, you are critical to the mission of the University in achieving excellence in teaching and learning. You were asked to teach because you bring expertise to your respective academic programs. However, as a part-time instructor you may have had minimal contact with the university, especially if you are employed elsewhere, and may feel there are areas in which you need more information or support.

This CD includes a variety of important resources that full-time colleagues rely on, as well as some items that are unique to the needs and interests of part-time faculty at UGA. You will find information and guidance on developing a syllabus for your course, dealing with academic honesty in the classroom, class absences, assigning an incomplete, teaching tips, various resources on campus to help you in your teaching, and even policies on parking and bus routes. Also, you can hear and view reflections on teaching from award-winning UGA faculty in the Excellence in Teaching Videos section. Some resources in this CD will be more relevant than others, but all should be useful in helping you learn more about the University of Georgia.

We want your experience at the University to be successful and hope this CD enhances what you are already receiving from your department. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact your associate dean or other responsible individual in your home department, or you can contact CTL at ctl@uga.edu
