2 reviews for Getting Down to Business: A Handbook for Adjunct/Part-Time Faculty Who Teach Business

  1. Brandon Sturgess

    Getting Down to Business is written in a lively and interesting style. It is packed with excellent recommendations and is a must-have for the adjunct faculty member teaching business courses. It’s one of the most comprehensive overall teaching handbooks for business faculty I’ve read thus far.

  2. Wm. F. French

    Very Useful Book.

    I teach undergraduate business courses at a 4-year college and I bought this book. The writing is lively and engaging and the tips/suggestions were very helpful – particularly the chapter on business students and writing. I would recommend this book to instructors who teach undergraduate business courses and who are looking to improve their course delivery.
