The Use of Adjunct Faculty: An Exploratory Study of Eight Social Work Programs.
Klein, Waldo C.; And Others
Journal of Social Work Education, v32 n2 p253-63 Spr-Sum 1996
A study of social work practitioners as adjunct college faculty (AFs) surveyed 6 administrators, 43 AFs, and 175 students in 8 institutions. Results showed students regarded AFs as somewhat less effective teachers than full-time faculty but appreciated their expertise on contemporary and specialized practice. Administrators appreciated financial benefits of the arrangement, and AFs appreciated affiliation with academic programs. (Author/MSE)
