Adjunct Professor Complete Guide to Teaching College, 2nd Ed

Description

What do you need to know in order to teach college students successfully? This is a query asked by more than 700,000 adjunct professors in over 4,200 institutions of higher education – a number that represents most college faculty.

The reason why so many adjunct instructors ask that question is because, not only do they lack a practical resource; so too, many lack formal pedagogical training on how to teach and evaluate college students. With that information they can have the confidence and training in their teaching abilities – no matter their discipline or experience. This book is unique in that it focuses on the basic and essential elements of college instruction – providing down-to-earth answers to instructors’ often unanswered questions.

The Adjunct Professor’s Complete Guide to Teaching College 2nd Edition is an all-in-one sourcebook of practical ideas and solutions. It will provide proven strategies for both novice and experienced instructors.  The book offers specific tools and techniques that enhance the learning process. A creative range of “inside information” will be offered for adjunct professors to apply in their own unique teaching situations. The Adjunct Professor’s Complete Guide 2nd Edition offers a wealth of dynamic and useful techniques leading to instructional success. This book is for everyone who has ever wanted to teach a college course, but were unsure of where and how to start.
