Leora Baron-Nixon

Connecting Non Full-time Faculty to Institutional Mission

A Guidebook for College/University Administrators and Faculty Developers

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Non full-time faculty--whether adjunct, part-time or contingent--has become the lifeline of a vast majority of colleges and universities. They teach many of the foundation and core courses taken by first and second year students, teach professional courses in which their own life experiences are invaluable, and step in at short notice to fill-in for regular faculty engaged in research or away on sabbaticals.
