Comment on Zhanna Martirosyan's post:
You named something important here — the difference between curriculum consistency and instructional richness. Standardized assessments hold quality in place, but they can't generate credibility on their own. That has to come through the instructor.
Your point about adjunct practitioners as curriculum contributors is one I want to think more about. It reframes adjuncts from delivery agents into feedback channels that keep programs current. For institutions willing to build that loop intentionally, it could be a real competitive advantage.
One question it raised for me: how do you see this balance playing out in programs where students aren't yet entering the workforce — like dual-enrollment or developmental tracks? I wonder if "industry experience" needs to be redefined for those contexts.
