<p>I noticed the pun just after I posted–it wasn’t intended.</p>
<p>Teaching remotely is weird. You never see the students, and generally never even speak to them on the phone. With some of them, you interact a reasonable amount in the class online forum–others, much less. I made my students do a lot of weekly homework so I could gauge whether they were learning anything.</p>
<p>But I mention it because it’s kind of the most extreme form of adjunct teaching. I think that even in-person adjuncts may be outside the college structure to a large extent, as somebody said above.</p>
