A normal day at work would consist of me signing students and guest in and out as they walk into the building to go into the dorms. I have learned since i have been working here is that you have to speak up and put your foot down because people will try and walk over you.When it comes to management they can be very strict at the same time flexible and willing to work with you depending on the situation. All of my co-workers i tend to stay in good contact with each other as far as work goes so there is usually never any miscommunication when it comes to people relieving people for their shift. The hardest part of my job is probably trying to get to more hours or trying to move up. The most enjoyable part of my job would have to getting to meet some new almost everyday

The days that I had work which was Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I will always say hey to my employers and coworkers. One of the things that I learned at my previous job was to work together as a team even when everybody has different opinions. The hardest part of the job was making sure that the coworkers that I use to work with finish the tasks that my supervisor gave them. My most enjoyable time at my previous job was accomplishing the tasks my supervisor gave me to do. All of the coworkers that I worked with were all African Americans so there really wasn't any ethical issues. When I used to work at my job from before I really liked the job because it was a quick-paced job and the job really did taught me about how to manage my time.

Former adjunct. 

When I gave back students their papers, there seemed to be a consensus of disagreement over the feedback, so I encouraged students to visit the writing center to discuss this matter further. 

So some students took the graded papers to the writing center and were told the feedback on the rubric was correct; the errors I pointed out were spot on. 

I explained to them that this was the standard when I was in mental health counseling school and I  had to connect their knowledge on the importance of mental health professionals knowing how to clinically/write. 

I also encouraged them to continue to utilize the writing center in all of your classes to work on improving their writing skills, but this is not encouraged. 

I loved working in the University, it is always convenient and they are for the most part understanding with the academic load that one carries over the shoulders. The only one thing I have ALWAYS hated, is that it takes a month to get paid. You work for two week, submit your time sheets, and the payment doesn't comes in until two weeks later, IF everything is in order in your time sheet, if not you have to fix it, and you get paid on the next cycle, (another two weeks) it is really SO not convenient and not reliable. You can never be 100% sure you will be getting your money that Friday... and if that's not the case, you need to be sure you have enough money to survive the month with out that money.

The most you have to deal with is issues with printing at the computer lab at NJCU. Other than that the superiors will teach you what you need to know and help you if you need it. You can learn many things while on the job if you just ask and pay attention. You can do your homework if things are slow and you have a maximum of 15 hours. All you need to do on a regular day is deal with calls, help people print, refill printer and staplers, provide assistance to anyone who needs it and help professors if they need help in the classroom. You may also set up equipment in rooms that may need it. The equipment we commonly set up are projectors, clickers, laptops, and speakers. The management is great, supportive and friendly.

Despite working only part time, NJCU is always offering a variety of roles in which both full time and part time faculty can become more involved with the functions of the university. As Professor of Fitness, Exercise and Sports, I have had the chance to promote my fitness courses through Open Day, Multicultural Events and covering other faculty member's classes!!!

Unless Assistant Professor, it is challenging to move up the ladder, however, the pay per course for 3 credits is not bad and you still have time to focus on your full time job or career!

Students are great and other faculty/staff are very friendly!

I am an aspiring Information Technology professional looking to improve technology use for both my team and end-users; however many ideas and innovations slip through the cracks as my current position at NJCU does not motivate or grant much access to move forward with testing such ideas or innovations within our current environment. Overall I do not see myself advancing my IT career staying at NJCU, and in order for me to gain more knowledge and experience, I need to take a step forward and move on to new and exciting positions within the technology field.

It was a great experience to work in research at my university, I have learned to do many things such as 
Planned, organized, implemented and managed multiple research and test projects successfully.
Worked with a team of students and trained them on the skills I have learned from my instructor.
Planned daily activity in coordination with research goals.
Kept neat and accurate records of all analyzed data, input data, recorded procedures and results.
Conducted research on cancer cells, MCF-7, DU145 and H460.
Initiated research by growing, splitting and plating cancer cells.
Treated three cell lines with different concentrations of antagonist and agonist to the NMDA

Working as a Principles of Biology instructor was an amazing experience. I had an amazing mentor who guided me on how to teach college level students. I learned so much such as: How to run a college classroom & direct and run a college laboratory & how to assess the college students needs when it came to their education. My coworkers were amazing. However, the hardest part was getting the laboratory equipment to be available for the college students. The most enjoyable part was teaching the college students within the classroom setting.
