TECHNICALLY SPEAKING
Are you tired of standing in line for the copier, or paying out of pocket to duplicate course materials? Maybe you’re ready to go paperless and put your course on CD. Our writer shows you just how easy it is to do.

DESK DRAWER

• NYU President Sends Tenured Faculty Back to the Classroom John Sexton, president of New York University, is sending tenured faculty back into the classroom and hiring fewer adjuncts.
• Part-Time Harper Faculty Seek a Union At Harper College, in Illinois, the 500 part-time faculty are making a push to unionize, 10 years after the last effort failed.

REVIEWS

FOURTH ESTATE
Language Magazine, the Journal of Education and Communication is a good bet for faculty who teach foreign languages or who are involved in bilingual education programs.

OPINION

FIRST PERSON
When a retired brigadier general lands in the classroom as an adjunct, he discovers that his student troops are woefully unprepared for the study of history, or much of anything else for that matter.

UNCONVENTIONAL WISDOM
When supplies and equipment go missing, we’re quick to blame students. Turns out faculty should be added to the list of usual suspects, as well.

LAST WORD
Why using graded work to penalize students is never the answer.
