Dr. Kathleen Mary Henderson, Adjunct Professor
As any university adjunct faculty professor can tell you, we
are low on the totem pole when it comes to being assigned a graduate
assistant. ExamView has just changed this by becoming my new
graduate assistant. The hours that it has saved have freed me to do
what I love best—teach. And it has given me the extra precious time
to do the research and PowerPoint presentations I previously did not
have time to do.
Tough economic
conditions in higher education and a lack of full-time teaching positions
have made it necessary for adjunct faculty such as myself
to teach at multiple universities. Currently, I teach at Kean
University and New
Jersey City University
(both state universities). On any given day the back of my car is a
portable office. Every one of my six classes (120-plus students) is
neatly organized in individual cases, and each of my classes has a separate
syllabus and lesson plans.
Before I had ExamView, I would arrive home late from teaching
evening classes, grab a quick dinner, and start correcting papers. With
an average of 24 students per class and 6 separate classes, I have quite
a few students. Just do the math! If you spend an average of only 5 minutes per
student paper, that equates to 10 hours per week correcting papers.
If you include the effort it takes to email students their results,
prepare tests, and copy/collate them, the time really adds up.
To make matters worse, most educators are not paid for this part
of their job. Also, think about the environmental impact of the wasted
paper, ink, and toner from all of those quizzes and tests.
Since using ExamView
my life has been freed up 20-plus hours per week.
Talk about an invaluable resource. My students love it because
they know their results immediately after taking an online review, quiz,
or test. I love it because I, too, know the students’
results immediately, and I can provide targeted remediation for those
students who need help—a win-win situation for any educator.
ExamView, you
are a professor’s best friend and the best graduate assistant I ever
had.
