    Good useful and practical strategies for first-time adjunct teachers. I learned quite a bit.

  3. Monique

    This small handbook is packed with useful information that will help adjuncts regardless of the institution. Greive is definite a leader in the field of adjunct faculty development.

  4. David Kramer

    If You’re an Adjunct Professor, Buy This Book.

  5. Debbie

    Good for New Instructor

    I purchased this book five years ago when i was teaching for the first time. I found it to be very helpful. It was a must read for a newbie to teaching.

  6. Fred Fanning

    I used an earlier version of this book to prepare for my first university teaching job. I then purchased this updated version to keep my skills up-to-date. I highly recommend this book for anyone about to be or currently working as an adjunct instructor. The information is relevant and very helpful. I still refer to it.

  7. Sheila Mullaney

    This is an excellent resource for anyone in administration. The material is clear and concise. I recommend this handbook for anyone who is supervising part-time faculty.

  8. KBailey

    Great tips in a concise format!

    As an adjunct professor and workshop trainer, I have found the myriad suggestions on teaching and organized outlines for curriculum development very helpful. I am suggesting this book as a source for others who teach and train trainers.
