Product Description The Full-Time Faculty Handbook is a guide to the life of a college professor. Editors Virginia Bianco-Mathis and Neal Chalofsky examine the major components of a life in the academy-teaching, advising, publishing, research and service. Practical, comprehensive, and engaging, this handy guide appeals to a broad audience across all academic disciplines-from new professors to tenured faculty. Themes that are introduced and woven throughout the book include: + The basics of academic life + Key strategies for success + Political realities vs. the "ideal" + Managing your career-creating your own schedule, roadmap, and network + Assessing where you are and what needs to be done + Finding, fueling, and maintaining your passion The authors also address the latest trends in the field that are affecting time-honored teaching traditions, such as distance learning, outcome assessment, continuous learning, and the evolving roles and responsibilities of full-time faculty. | ||
