TIPSters, the same committee that led me to post a question about course
evaluations now needs information about how much part-time/adjunct faculty
are paid per course and what factors are considered in setting the pay. We
currently pay $1500 regardless of discipline or teacher experience, and
I can give you only anecdotes - most of my students compose papers directly
in the word processor (and some of them don't bother saving the file after
they've printed the paper). I'm on a crusade this semester to encourage them
to write an outline before they write the first draft.

I have a confession to make. I have stooped so low in my efforts to combat
inadequate proofreading of papers that this semester I waved a gold dollar
coin in front of my Intro Psych students and told them that anyone who turns
in a mechanically perfect paper - no errors that would be caught by a
TIPSters, I am on a committee that will be reviewing our policy and
practices for student evaluation of courses. Information and advice would
be appreciated, including comments about what's done where you are, what
instruments you use, how the information is used, research on this topic,
etc.

Hello, TIPSters. I'm teaching Honors Intro Psych to ten freshmen and
sophomores this semester, only one of whom has listed psychology as his

sources approach to the course, a decision which I hope I don't regret. I am

Hello, TIPsters. I am working on the final exam for my Cognitive Psychology
course, and I'm not satisfied with the essay questions I'm generating. I'd
like to have two or three essay questions (to give them a choice) that would
require that students integrate information from several units. We're
that the
prospective student was interested in that faculty member's research. Let me
know if you'd like more details.

Suppose you were in a Methods or Statistics class in which you had to design
a study, create the materials, collect some of the data, and then use the
data from this partial sample to simulate or fill in fictitious data for the

Hello, TIPS. One of my students is having difficulty finding a measure of

with one particular disorder she will. She's running out of time to find
I'd go with openness and skepticism. I teach my students about the
