Lyons (Indian River Community College), Kysilka (Univ. of Central Florida), and Pawlas (also UCF) provide a practical handbook aimed at the growing number of part-time college teachers, often designated "adjunct" faculty. Since few universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges provide formal programs for preparing part-time faculty members, the authors offer this guide as a "partial remedy." It combines a "conceptual foundation for college teaching ... with a toolkit of teaching and classroom management ideas." Topics include a profile of today's undergraduate students, planning/preparing/delivering the course, conducting effective first and last class meetings, managing the instructional environment, applying appropriate instructor- and student-directed learning methods, constructing and administering valid/reliable tests and alternative assessments, evaluating teaching, and building and maintaining the part-time teaching career. The sequence takes inexperienced faculty members through the stages of part-time teaching from beginning to end. Nearly every chapter provides "classroom survival skills," tips for achieving a distinctive teaching style, views of the teaching experience "through the eyes" of three types of part-timers, and a review of major points. Sometimes like a "cookbook" but not discipline-bound, with substantial references and useful index, this helpful handbook delivers many ideas and suggestions from which part- and full-time adjuncts, new teachers, and even veteran faculty members, could benefit.
