Adjunct title
Okay, this is such a stupid question. And although I think it's been asked here before, I've dug through the tags and not found it.
I'm teaching my first class as an adjunct tomorrow. I'm currently finishing my PhD (at a different institution). What should my students call me?
Dr Coendou is right out, obviously. My job title is just "term adjunct faculty," so using "Professor" feels weird (though that's what my husband, who is TT at the same school, is telling me to do). But "Ms Coendou" feels like I'm a high school teacher.
For some reason, I am really panicking about this - I think I'm channeling my general anxiety about teaching (I've TAed, but never taught a college-level class solo before) into this one stupid thing.
