I was offered the job based on my experience and application and given a tenative start date with department chair to sign off. "Someone would get back to me." Two weeks later department feedback is "naw we got the hours covered for now we want a 20 min teaching demonstration." A topic was given that takes a class period minimum and lots of instruction leading up to that discussion. I requested feedback on where I could expect students to be at (level and depth if information needed) from HR and received almost nothing of substance back.
Remember defending your thesis? Yeah... it was about like that but a completely detached and apathetic audience of "peers" picking you apart on paper. It's been a few years since I taught but I am a seasoned instructor with a masters in education outside of my return to industry and I have direct experience in the industry that students are being prepared for. I was promised interaction with the audience if I taught "normally" and got crickets at best, and eye rolls and active disconnection at worst, to all my leading questions. They ask you to teach but create a completely artificial and hostile environment that is just miserable. Likewise they seemed most concerned about my experience as a canvas user vs online canvas instructor... really? Domain knowledge and real life job experience from someone who runs multiple medical analyzers simultaneously, and programs in pascal for data analysis, is worthless in comparison to needing to learn a program like canvas? So glad I wasn't picked. Completely demeaning and degrading environment.
