I'm a PhD student looking for summer work; I have several years of comp teaching experience.  Does anyone have experience teaching comp online in the summer? If so, how are easy are such sections to land? Where should I look?

Thanks!

At my CC all summer English classes go to full-time faculty.  At the university that I attended for graduate school all summer English courses went to full-time faculty. 

From my experience, I'm guessing hard to obtain to nearly impossible.

At my CC, adjuncts pick up summer courses that TTed profs don't want to take (most like the summer off).

For online, check with for-profit schools (Phoenix, Capella, Walden, Streyer).  You'll probably get about $1,200-1,500/class, and many run on a quarter system, so between 6 and 10 weeks long.

I appreciate the feedback so far.

This might sound awful, but do sections from for-profits look bad on one's CV?

I've always kept my experiences at places like that off of my CV.  I'm not sure if they'd look bad - I've just instinctively left them off, fwiw.

Well, you're a PhD student, so who cares.  : )

Really, won't teaching look better than, say, being a barrista?
