Reviewer Comments
- “I… have certainly loved having this book to utilize as a campus resource for training new adjunct and even full-time instructors—such great information!”
- “The Guide to Classroom Instruction for Adjunct Faculty created by the American Chemical Society has been the definitive guide for adjunct faculty, both new and “seasoned” for several years. The updated version of this guide is every bit as good as the first. The success and popularity of the Guide lies in its layout. It’s easy to follow, flows logically, and provides the new faculty member, in particular, with a wealth of information for success in the classroom…
- Overall, I am very excited by what I have seen in this Guide. It’s comprehensive, applies to any discipline, and is a wonderful tool for all teachers—new and veteran. I look forward to using it once again with our faculty.”

“Because this guide touches upon several concepts that are important to effecting teaching, but perhaps not obviously so, all teaching faculty ― adjunct, full-time seasoned, and new ― can benefit… One appealing aspect is the impartiality that is maintained regarding various approaches to teaching. This guide promotes the idea that there is not one true method for effecting teaching, and any number of methods may be appropriate for a given situation and a given set of students.”
