This review is from: Managing Adjunct & Part Time Faculty for the New Millennium (Paperback)

With today's increased employment of part-time faculty members, it is critical for institutions to install programming that maximizes their effectiveness. This book focuses on sound orientation practices, development of teaching and classroom management skills, ethical and legal issues, and other key factors impacting the success of adjunct faculty. It's a must for deans and department chairs who rely on part-time faculty members to deliver a significant component of their instruction.
