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