Dear Prof. Levy,

Greetings from Annapolis!  

I am the associate chair of the math department over at the Naval Academy.  We are finding ourselves very short-handed for the Spring semester and are searching for new adjuncts.

I am reaching out to you now in case you or your colleagues have graduate students (with a Master's degree) who might be interested in picking up some extra support by teaching a section or two of calculus over here.  

If you happen to know of any good candidates, I would be grateful if you would either send their contact information my way or forward this message on to them.  I have included some basic details below.  Of course, please feel free to forward this message on to your colleagues as you see fit.

Thanks,

Dan

Some details:  Our adjuncts generally cover one or more sections of some level of calculus (using Stewart).  In Spring, that would be Calc 2 or Calc 3.  Those courses run 50 minutes per day, four days per week (not Tuesday or not Thursday) and are capped at ~20 students/section.  Homework is handled via WebAssign, and we can supply notes and/or worksheets so you wouldn't be starting from scratch.  Other courses (e.g., data science or differential equations) might be feasible, too, based on background and preferences.  A Master's degree is required.  The gross pay per semester is ~$1800 per credit hour, so ~$7200 per section of a 4-credit course like calculus or differential equations.
