In fact, the $5000 salary is good for such positions! In the NYC
area, the going rate for "adjunct" or "part-time" faculty is
$1600-$2000 per 3-credit course per semester, sans TA or grader,
but without office hours requirement. I taught one course, but
found the compensation insufficient. Apparently, the supply of
part-time teachers around NYC is infinite!
