How to classify adjunct professor work

I have a side hustle as an adjunct professor for a completely remote teaching gig at a university 2 hours away from my home. I am not offered an office in any way. I am paid one lump sum for the 6-week course (taxes are already deducted from the paycheck).

Would I be able to claim as a tax deduction the office space that I use for recording the lectures that I make (which I have complete freedom for when I hold them), which is also the same space I use for grading assignments?

This is my first year doing this, so I'm assuming I will be getting a W-2, but I'm not 100% sure. 

Thank you in advance!
