No, not a very exciting thread.

I am updating my C.V. to reflect a couple of courses I'll teach this summer as an adjunct for an online for-profit university. I am only doing it temporarily, for cash, and plan to include it in my "other teaching" rather than up front with my "real" experience.

Those of you who teach adjunct courses on the side--online or residential--where do you include them on your C.V.?

From the post title alone, I was going to say "community service."

I actually had a bet with myself that larryc would be the first to respond. I win!

I guess it depends what your current job situation is (adjunct? tenured?) and what the purpose of the CV is (to get another online teaching job? to get tenure?).

Personally, I break up my teaching experience thus:

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Present Job as Most Important Professor
Department of Genius, Prestigious U, 1999-2007

Prior job as lowly adjunct
Department of Sub-Genius, Normal School, 1997-99

Other adjunct job
Department of Nothing, Boring School, 1996-98

ONLINE TEACHING
Department of Genius, Prestigious U., 2001-2007
Teach Genius 101 online using Blackboard

General Requirements Department, Brothel Online School, 2006-07
Teach Physical Education 102 online using eCollege

I believe adjunct courses show teaching experience and should be listed. If you've had your permanent position for a long time, or adjuncted at 15 different schools one semester each, I suppose you could just add a section, Adjuncting, and list the different schools.

I like to break apart the online teaching (including by listing schools under both sections) as a way of highlighting my experience in this realm.

I have a section called "Additional Professional Experience." I put other paid, but short term experiences there.

I used to have a job working for the CIA at Guantanamo.  We had to deal with several hardcases who would not talk.  Our strongest interrogators, men who make Dirty Harry look like Pee Wee Herman, had tried and failed to convince 'em to squeal.  Then they call in me.  They put me alone with the hardcase in a padded, windowless room, and I start singing patriotic songs, in my distinctive adenoidal tone.  By the time I got to the third verse of 'God Bless the USA', the dude was invariably down on his hands and knees, tearing out his hair, wetting himself, and begging for mercy-- we could not write down what he was saying fast enough.  Worked every time.

Now where do I list this job on my CV?

I've always wondered who you really were, K16. It's LarryC, everybody!
