Question 21 will not accept anything other than a number between 0-100, which is not relevant to the question. Many adjuncts do not get paid additional money for teaching additional students, so these shouldn’t be required questions. You ask if people get paid for different sorts of service without asking if they perform that service for free. I’d like to help with this survey but can’t get past Q21 without answering it incorrectly.
It has been fixed. Thanks for letting me know.
The job titles aren’t accurate — are there full professors who are adjunct? Also, how is adjunct defined … do you mean contingent or only people paid by the course?
