Adjunct Information
Page
Welcome
to teaching at Montclair
State
University's
Linguistics Department.
We've organized this Web page to answer the questions you need to have
answered in order to teach effectively. As you ask other questions, we
will try to supply answers here. Please contact the Webmaster at johnsond@mail.montclair.edu
with your questions.
Getting Started
We
need the following documents from you in order to get you into Montclair State's
personnel system:
• Your
resume
• Two
letters of reference
• Passport
•
Driver's license
• Social
security card or paystub showing
your social security number
•
Official transcripts from the institutions of higher education from
which you have a degree
• A Federal W4 tax document that you can print here or get in the
department office.
A New
Jersey State W4 tax document that you can print here or get at the
department office.
• An Employment
Eligibility Verification (I-9) form that you can
print here or get in
the department office.
• A Pension Questionnaire that you can print here or get in the
department office.
• An Education, Gender, and Ethnic Information form that
you can print here
or get in the department office.
• An Adjunct Application and Qualification form that you can print here
or get in the department office.
Getting Paid
It
is vital that you submit all necessary paperwork in order to minimize
delays in finalizing your appointment and to ensure that you will be
paid in a timely fashion. Once all paperwork is submitted,
paychecks will be issued and mailed every two weeks. Depending on
the pay period, a partial payment may be given to you, followed by a
supplementary check the next week to catch you up with the regular
payment schedule.
The
payroll schedule is located here.
Getting an E-mail
Account
Getting
an e-mail account is the first step in using other net-based systems
available to instructors, for example Blackboard, web pages, etc.
In order to obtain an email address account, all paperwork must be
given to the department secretary. In turn, the secretary submits
the paperwork to Human Resources who will review all documents for
completeness. If all paperwork is in order, the appointee’s birth
date is input to the system to establish an email account. The appointee
can then go to the website listed below and follow
the instructions provided to open an email account.
1. Create
your NetID Account by
completing the online MSU NetID Account Form
at http://netid.montclair.edu.
2. Your NetID Account will
provide you with e-mail access.
Parking
Once
your paperwork is completed, you can pick up a hang tag from the MSU
Parking Services Office at the front entrance to the Red Hawk Deck. You
just need to give them your name and they will give you a form that
asks for your license plate number and car make and model. You can see
the parking lots that are available to you here.
Student
Evaluations
Student
Evaluations are distributed to each instructor near the end of each
semester. The instructor is responsible for asking a student to
administer the evaluation forms to the students at the first fifteen
minutes of the class or the last fifteen minutes of the class. It is
helpful to know the course number when distributing the forms (e.g.,
ESOL 173 01), as the students need to put this information on the form.
While the students are filling out the forms, the instructor is
required to leave the room until such forms are completed. The
selected student is responsible for returning the forms to the
department secretary. Once the course is over and grades have
been posted, instructors can have access to their evaluations.
Final Grades
The date of the submission of the final grades will be posted in the
course schedule booklet for the semester, which may be found here. If
the grades are not recorded on time, the students risk receiving an F
in the course and the instructor is required to fill out a change of
grade form for each student. Grades for the Fall 2006 semester are due
on Thursday December 28. The grades are all submitted through
the web. Instructions on how to submit the grades is at Fall
2006 web grading instructions.

Copying
Instructors
are expected to adhere to copyright regulations in using department
copying facilities.
Each
floor in Dickson Hall has a mail/copy room. Instructors are issued
individual copy cards for course needs. These cards are paid for by the
Linguistics Department and distributed by the department secretary.
There is a finite number
of copies per card. Please limit copying because of budgetary
restraints and use the Ricoh machine, which does not require a card,
for 20 copies or more per original. For problems and/or paper, call the
CHSS Tech Team at ext. 7835.
Canon
Copier:
- Use only for fewer
than 20 copies of the original
- place copy card in
meter before using the Canon copier
- follow Canon
instructions
- press end button on
meter to remove copy card
Ricoh
Copier:
- no card is necessary
- obtain access number
from department secretary
- must make a minimum
of 20 copies per master copy
Computer Lab Keys
Some
language courses have a computer lab component. Instructors must
contact the CHSS Tech Team at ext. 7835 for the lab key and alarm code.
Practicum Supervision
ESL
adjuncts may be asked to host practicum students in their classes as
part of their instructional assignment.
Office Hours
Adjunct professors are expected to hold one office hour for each course
taught. Please give your chosen hour(s) to the department secretary so
she can post them on your office door.
Being Observed
Adjunct professors are observed in their teaching once a year, either
by the chair of the department or a designated representative. You will
be notified of the observation and asked for appropriate times for the
observation. It is helpful if you provide an outline of the class to
the observer beforehand or when they enter the class.
