Hello, I just recently started my first adjunct position. I was hired rather late in the process -- only received my textbook and syllabus for the course I'm teaching 3 days before classes started. I'm finally at the point where I'm not feeling completely frantic about preparing, but I also feel that I am unable to devote as much time as I would like to preparing in some instances. Fortunately, a detailed syllabus was provided for me, so I have been working off of that. But do you have any pointers on how I can better prepare for classes? Currently, I'm reading the chapter myself, pulling what I think is pertinent information and using the instructor resources to put together a PowerPoint for the lectures. But at the same time, I feel that I'm sometimes doing a disservice to the students because I don't have the time to supplement the material. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
