A Comparative Analysis Of Student Success On The College Level Academic Skills Test When Instructor Characteristics Are Considered, Anna M. Puzsik

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

From 1970 to 1980, part-time faculty members increased faster than full-time faculty and recent studies estimate that at least one in every three faculty members is employed part-time. While the use of adjunct faculty has helped many colleges adjust to uncertain and fluctuating funding patterns, the instructional efficacy of the use of adjunct faculty may be questioned.

In Florida, this nationwide trend is of particular importance since students must take and pass a test of college-level computation and communication skills …
