Lecturers will teach one or more sections of courses for which the Program Chair deems them qualified and carry responsibilities in the areas of teaching, grading, meeting and communicating with students during office hours and as needed. Position duties require working and teaching collaboratively with other faculty in the Program and may also include interactive lectures, supervising activities, and collaborative activities.

Teaching assignments are based upon qualifications of the individual and the needs of the department.
