I just started a lectureship in a science subject.
The university is great and I have a greatly reduced teaching load but the module I'm running is not in my area of expertise and I'm going to have to revisit topics that I haven't touched since A-levels to brush up enough.
I am hoping that I will be allowed to change the learning outcomes and assignments so I will stand at least some chance of teaching this to an acceptable standard.
I am going to have a meeting with my departmental head and discuss my concerns as well. I'm hoping to just get it over with this year and then be moved to something else, something more appropriate.
I'm just here for a bit of re-assurance and to hear that I'm not alone in this. Have you been given difficult teaching as a new lecturer?
