• Prepare for and attend all class meetings; develop assignments, design class activities, respond to and evaluate student work, assign grades, and provide timely feedback and instructor‑student interaction.
• Hold regular office hours for students involved in courses taught (three hours each week); be available for reasonable appointments if a student cannot meet during scheduled office hours.
• Adhere to departmental, college, and university policies.

While teaching online courses is part of the possible duties, lecturers must also be available for instruction and meetings at the Lawrence, KS campus.
