I'm sure it is... multiple that ten fold at a place like ULM. There are some good students there, but a majority of the student's there are from somewhere in Ouachita parish and basically go to ULM for 1-2 years before getting married and working for the family business.

That being said, the biggest issues I had were people missing assignments left and right and then coming to be at the end of the semester begging for points bc my kids, death in the family etc etc etc. The worst was one asshat who asked me if I could please round him up to a D...fricker was 6 percentage points away.... Looked backed and he missed a ton of assignments including the first forum post, the directions to which were INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR 5 POINTS!! So I guess actually this dude failed at writing his name.


Good Lord. As an educated person, I have no idea how you had the patience to deal with these morons.

I teach online courses. Unfortunately I can't satisfy the "legit universities" portion.

But I hate it. It's like you get all the crappy parts of being a teacher (grading and responding to emails) without the fun part of getting to know your students and engaging in classroom discussions.

I honestly feel like someone else is teaching a class somewhere and sends me all of the papers to grade.

For the same reason I was in Monroe at all...my grad assitanship. They basically paid for my masters and gave me money on top of that to teach there while I was working on it.... I quite frankly still think I overpaid.

PhDd is not needed. There are many instructors who teach online courses at legit schools such as LSU, Nicholls State, Lafayette, Tulane.

This was the exact quote I would give to explain online teaching ever since I've done it.

IDK. That’s why I am asking. I would like to focus on engineering/business classes. I know AU for example suggest undergrad engineering majors take business courses. I like online courses, but would not be against lectures, either.
