  32. In my undergrad experience the required (non-English and English) courses
  33. were taught by full-time and part-time professors (of all ranks from
  34. instructor to full professor).
  35.  
  36. At NYIT or required first-year courses are taught by adjuncts and full
  37. timers. Some of the full timers are full professors. However, not all the
  38. NYIT required courses are first year. Philosophy (for example) is generally
  39. sophomore/junior year. By then the attrition rate has set in, so a few 150+
  40. student (no lie, 150 students in one philosophy course) offered each
  41. semester handle the load.
