We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. The posting includes Job Summary (but we should not repeat job title as heading). The job title is "Adjunct Faculty". The posting includes sections: Job Summary, Essential Duties And Responsibilities (with many bullet-like paragraphs), Physical Demands. Also maybe other sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present. So we should include headings for sections that have content: maybe "Job Summary", "Responsibilities" (or "Essential Duties And Responsibilities"), "Physical Demands". Use

for each heading. Use

for prose,

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are in paragraphs; we could convert each sentence into list items? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The posting has many duties described in paragraph form, not explicit list. We could treat each duty as a list item. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can break into list items for clarity. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. Breaking into list items is okay as long as we keep the content. We'll need to extract each duty sentence. Let's parse the Essential Duties And Responsibilities section: "Strive for continual improvement of student success by planning an optimal learning environment; providing high quality instruction and advising; participating in the development of learning outcomes and in the assessment of students as well as of self and applied teaching techniques in order to increase effectiveness; and engaging in ongoing professional development."

"Collaborate with colleagues across the College in the construction and continuous improvement of measurable learning outcomes to include the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board ( THECB ) core curriculum objectives and additional Texas Southmost College’s objectives."

"Working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends depending on deadline requirements and special events." "Perform other duties as assigned." We also have Job Summary paragraph: "Adjunct Faculty are professional educators who work on a limited basis and have the primary responsibility of fulfilling the Texas Southmost College’s ( TSC ) mission, vision, values and goals of providing a quality education for all students enrolled at the College. The relationship of the adjunct faculty member to the student is one of leader, teacher, advisor, and facilitator of learning.

We need to output HTML fragment only, no or . Use

      for section headings. Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For Job Summary and Physical Demands we can use

        . For Essential Duties we can use

        • each duty as a list item. We must not include headings for sections that have only filler like "commensurate with experience". Not applicable. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. So we will not put a heading for "Adjunct Faculty". We'll start with

          Job Summary

          then

          ...

          . Then

          Responsibilities

          (or "Essential Duties And Responsibilities". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map to "Responsibilities". Use that heading. Then
            with each duty as

            . We must preserve all substantive information. Ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's copy each duty exactly as in text, but we may need to split at semicolons? The instruction says use list for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't require splitting sentences; we could keep each paragraph as a list item. That would preserve the content. However each paragraph contains multiple duties separated by semicolons; but it's still a duty description. It's okay to keep as one list item per paragraph. That would be fewer items but still list. That satisfies "list of duties". We'll do each paragraph as a list item. Let's extract paragraphs from the Essential Duties section as they appear separated by line breaks? In the source they are separate sentences but not clearly delimited. We'll treat each sentence that starts with a capital letter after a period as separate duty. But there are many sentences. Let's just break by the period that ends a sentence and starts a new capital letter. However some sentences have internal semicolons but not periods. We'll just keep each sentence as a list item. Let's list them: 1. Strive for continual improvement of student success by planning an optimal learning environment; providing high quality instruction and advising; participating in the development of learning outcomes and in the assessment of students as well as of self and applied teaching techniques in order to increase effectiveness; and engaging in ongoing professional development. 2.
