Lyons is a senior consultant with a firm helping universities, colleges and instructional departments to improve their accountability outcomes, and is the co-author of an earlier work for aspiring and newly appointed part- time instructors, The Adjunct Professor's Guide to Success (Allyn and Bacon, 1999). His newest work builds on the previous text, but shifts the focus to experienced adjuncts wanting to improve their teaching effectiveness and course management efficiency. The text also includes brief testimonials from successful American adjunct professors and a new chapter on incorporating technology into one's teaching.
