    Teaching Experience
    As a college adjunct assistant professor or instructor, I taught courses in English, communication, ethics, and Western culture. In Maryland, 1999 to 2004, the courses were college writing and literature courses. In Maine from 2004 to 2013, I taught courses in communication, ethics, and Western philosophy, art, and culture. The courses are listed below.
     
    Writing courses:
  • Introduction to Literature
  • College Writing
  • Argumentation and Research
  • Business Writing
  • Technical Writing
  •  
    Other courses:
  • Speech
  • Interpersonal Communication
  • Ethics
  • Introduction to Western Philosophy
  • Western Thought and Culture
  •  
    Adjuncts frequently teach a number of courses in one semester, sometimes at several schools. From 1999 to 2013, I generally taught four or five courses per academic year, frequently at more than one school. (Adjunct pay is too low to allow a teacher to make a full-time living by teaching at only one school.) As a result, I have a broad background in writing, organizing, ideas, and culture generally.
    These are the schools where I taught:
  • Montgomery College, Rockville, MD
  • Prince George’s Community College, Largo, MD
  • Baltimore County Community College, Catonsville, MD
  • Maryland College of Art and Design, Silver Spring, MD
  • University of Southern Maine, Lewiston-Auburn, ME
  • University of Southern New Hampshire, Brunswick, ME
  • Central Maine Community College, Auburn, ME
  • Kaplan University, Lewiston, ME
  • Heartwood College of Art, Wells, ME
