Adjunct Faculty, Applied Music
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "How To Apply", "Equal Employment Opportunity", "Other Information", etc.
We need to keep: Responsibilities (including Essential Functions). Required Qualifications. Desired Qualifications. Knowledge, Abilities & Skills. Work Environment And Special Considerations. Compensation & Support (Pay, Benefits, Work Schedule). The posting includes "Compensation & Support" with details about pay schedule, benefits, professional development, retirement savings, EAP, etc. Also "Pay Benefits And Work Schedule" heading earlier but seems part of same. We'll combine into a section maybe "Compensation & Support" or separate Pay, Benefits, Schedule? The instruction says use headings like Pay, Benefits, Schedule if they exist. The posting includes compensation details and benefits. It does not give explicit schedule (flexible hours). It mentions "Flexible hours, days and assigned campus location may vary due to enrollment." That's schedule info. So we could have a Schedule section. But we need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine into one "Compensation & Benefits" or "Pay, Benefits & Schedule". However instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we could have separate headings if content exists. We have content for Pay (compensation details), Benefits (professional development, retirement savings, EAP), Schedule (flexible hours). So we could create three sections: Pay, Benefits, Schedule. But we need to avoid thin sections; but each has substantive content. Let's decide: We'll create sections: Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Desired Qualifications, Knowledge, Abilities & Skills, Work Environment, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. That seems many but each has content. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Pay, Benefits, Schedule into one "Compensation & Benefits & Schedule" but that deviates from suggested headings. Might be okay to combine as "Compensation & Benefits". But schedule is separate concept. Could include schedule within Work Environment? Work Environment already includes flexible hours. Actually Work Environment And Special Considerations includes "Flexible hours, days and assigned campus location may vary due to enrollment." So schedule is already there. So we could omit separate Schedule section. Then we have Pay and Benefits separate. That seems reasonable.
Thus sections: Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Desired Qualifications, Knowledge, Abilities & Skills, Work Environment, Pay, Benefits.
Now we need to extract content.
Responsibilities: The posting starts with "Responsibilities Adjunct Faculty are responsible for teaching assigned courses, which includes developing and posting syllabi, preparing and delivering instruction, designing assignments and assessments, grading student work, and providing timely, constructive feedback. In addition, Adjunct Faculty are expected to engage in professional development, effectively utilize the College’s Online Learning Management System (CANVAS), and maintain open communication with students, colleagues, and supervisors. They may also contribute to curriculum improvement efforts aimed at enhancing student success."
Then "Essential Functions The responsibility of Adjunct Faculty is to teach classes as assigned. Duties related to the teaching of a course include, but are not limited to, the following types of activities:" then a list.
We need to combine responsibilities and essential functions into a Responsibilities section. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to list duties as
- . The list includes:
- Developing a course syllabus in the format determined by the College and posting said syllabus to the College approved system by college posted deadlines.
- Preparing for and delivering class, studio, clinical, or lab instruction; at days, times, modalities and locations determined by the College.
- Using assigned instructional materials to plan and deliver instruction designed to enhance student learning.
- Developing or modifying assignments, assessments and other course materials to support and evaluate student understanding of course learning outcomes established in the course syllabus and per department guidelines.
- Grading student work and providing constructive feedback to students in a timely fashion, including resolution of incomplete or disputed grades.
- Participating in professional development opportunities offered by the college and department.
- Validating textbooks, posting course syllabi, class/grade rosters, and submitting final student grades by established deadlines
- Remaining current with how to use the College’s Online Learning Management System (currently CANVAS) as required by departmental guidelines.
- Responding in a timely fashion to communication from students, colleagues and supervisors
- Meeting with students individually to review course work as needed.
- Adjunct faculty may work with other faculty in support of curricula improvement as appropriate to promote students' success and mastery of course and program competencies.
We should keep the prose before list maybe as

Required Qualifications: "Master’s degree from an accredited institution in Music OR Master’s degree with at least 18 graduate semester hours in Music". That's it.

Work Environment And Special Considerations: "Works in a classroom/lab setting. Flexible hours, days and assigned campus location may vary due to enrollment. This description in no way states or implies that these are the only duties to be performed by the employee occupying this position. Employees will be required to follow any other job-related instructions and to perform any other job-related duties requested by their supervisor. This position is not eligible for Veterans' Preference."
We need to keep substantive info; we can drop the generic sentences about "This description in no way states..." maybe considered boilerplate? It's somewhat generic but still part of description. Might keep but it's not essential. However instruction: remove duplicated lines, boilerplate. This sentence is generic but appears in many job posts; could be considered boilerplate. Safer to keep only substantive: "Works in a classroom/lab setting. Flexible hours, days and assigned campus location may vary due to enrollment. This position is not eligible for Veterans' Preference." We'll keep that.
Pay: "Adjunct faculty are paid according to Seminole State College’s Non-Bargaining Unit Salary Schedule, based on the instructor’s highest degree earned. This posting is for a College Credit Course. To view current pay rates, please refer to the Salary Schedule". Also earlier "Pay Benefits And Work Schedule Are you passionate about teaching..." but that's marketing fluff. We'll keep the substantive pay description.
Benefits: "In addition to competitive pay, Seminole State offers part-time faculty access to professional development opportunities, retirement savings options, and campus resources. Adjunct faculty also have free access to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), providing confidential support services for employees and their households." Also maybe "Learn more about available benefits and resources ." but that's a link; we can drop.
We should not include application instructions, EEO, etc.
