Valuable practical advice for managing classrooms, workloads, and careers.

Non-tenure-track lecturers and adjunct instructors face particular challenges at US colleges, including heavy teaching loads, lack of office space, little control over the selection of course topics or textbooks, and long commutes between jobs at two or more schools.

Quick Hits for Adjunct Faculty and Lecturers contains short, practice-oriented articles by experienced instructors that offer valuable teaching and career tips for balancing competing demands, addressing student issues, managing classrooms, and enhancing professional development.

[A]s we've seen the possibilities provided by new instructional technologies, they have served to clarify the fact that the authentic human presence provided by a great instructor is fundamentally critical to the success of our students, and the life blood of the institutional community. These truths are becoming more evident every day. The success of our lecturers and adjunct faculty is imperative to the achievement of the larger goals we have for our higher education institutions.
