This article is about adjunct instructors, who are not paid per hour -- they are paid a fixed amount per course. Average pay is $3000 per course [1]. Teaching four courses in a semester is a full-time job; this gives $24,000 per year, usually without benefits. Institutions tend to limit the number of courses assigned to each adjunct in order to avoid the adjunct being classified as a full-time employee.
