Sessional Teaching in the School of Culture and Communication
The School of Culture & Communication often has a number of vacancies for sessional lecturers, who are required to coordinate, lecture and tutor in individual subjects. These positions are quite distinct from sessional tutoring which involves only the conduct of tutorials and related tasks.
Sessional lecturers are responsible for giving all or most of the lectures and tutorials (depending on student enrolments); setting and co-ordinating the assessment as per school and university guidelines; preparing any subject readers; reserve lists; bibliographies; etc. and for processing final results in that subject. Coordinators of a subject with a large enrolment who also have tutors are required to mentor their tutoring staff and give them full details of the teaching of the subject and expectations.
Sessional lecturers/coordinators are expected to attend the Examiner Board meetings for their subject and complete the final checking and sign-off of results at the end of the assessment period.
It is expected that successful applicants will be able to commit to the full semester of teaching and subject administration.
Applications for Sessional Lectureships close on 4 December 2009 (please note early closing date). No late applications will be accepted.
