The Issue:

University lecturers often teach classes at different institutions; they may be asked to teach courses for the first time; they may have only a few days or weeks to prepare; and they be tasked with teaching a course with a preset syllabus and curriculum that they did not prepare or contribute to.

Why is this an issue?

While some faculty may spend months or years dedicated to crafting a single course and implementing JET guidelines, lecturers may have a few days or weeks to familiarize themselves with the course structure and design. Following Just and Equitable Teaching teaching guidelines may be out of scope.
