This review is from: A Handbook for Adjunct & Part-Time Faculty & Teachers of Adults (Paperback)

As an adjunct professor and workshop trainer, I have found the myriad suggestions on teaching and organized outlines for curriculum development very helpful. I am suggesting this book as a source for others who teach and train trainers.
