Teaching/Classroom Assignments

http://www.psu.edu/oldmain/prov/fachand/instruction.html

Faculty may be assigned to teach courses through resident instruction and/or continuing education. The primary mission of resident instruction is to deliver classroom credit courses to students admitted to degree programs at campus sites, as well as to administer off-campus, credit-bearing activities such as internships, practica, field experiences, and education abroad. Students admitted to a degree program as provisional and nondegree students may participate in resident instruction offerings on a space available basis. Continuing Education programs (other than those of the Cooperative Extension) include informal University instruction programs, such as noncredit workshops, conferences, clinics, institutes, short courses, and independent learning courses, as well as credit courses designed largely for nontraditional, part-time students pursuing course work or degrees typically during the evenings and often at off-campus locations.
