$19.99

America’s #1 bestselling guide for adjunct professors, The Adjunct Professor’s Complete Guide to Teaching College

For many adjunct instructors, often hired just before a semester begins and usually without any pedagogical training, there’s a constant question that always surfaces: What do I 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 approximately 75.5% of all college faculty.

The reason why so many adjunct instructors ask that question is because, not only do they lack a practical resource; so too, do they lack any 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.
