The quality of the teaching performed by adjuncts varies justlike that for full-time faculty. There is often the perception that adjuncts are more eager toplease students, and one easy way to please students is to issue high grades. This is easy tounderstand since end-of-semester student surveys are often the sole mechanism by whichadjuncts are evaluated.

For example, one assistant professor respondent highlighted the perceived riskaround not fulfilling material coverage expected of them: “Preparing active learning activitiestakes a lot of time and it's often not clear how much class time they will take up, or if they will beeffective. As a new faculty member, I am somewhat hesitant to use active learning strategiesbecause I need to make sure I cover the required material, and it feels risky to try new things.”This concern highlights

The most striking difference from the PDR scores is a significantincrease in the “Budget/Schedule” rating, possibly due to feedback given during the PDR, butjust as likely due to more available information as design choices were finalized and more quotesfor equipment and materials were obtained. The “Goals/Criteria” rating is still low, for the samereasons as noted above with respect to the PDR ratings.
