There are now more part-time and sessional staff than ever before working in further and higher education institutions in many parts of the world. These staff are often thrown in at the deep end, with lectures to prepare and deliver, assessment to plan and administer, and small-group teaching to organise and facilitate. They often have relatively restricted opportunities for training and staff development. This book provides practical and accessible guidance on how best to approach the many and varied parts of their work, and on how to survive successfully balancing part-time work with the rest of the commitments which make up their lives.
With over 500 practical suggestions designed to help part-time lecturers make the most of their time, their teaching and the impact of their courses upon students this lively guide is handy guide to help key professional teaching skills. Divided into useful sections, this is a 'start anywhere', dip-in resource suitable for both the novice and experienced lecturer working in higher education.
