The Invisible Professor: The Precarious Lives of the New Faculty Majority. The WAC Clearinghouse; University Press of Colorado.
https://doi.org/10.37514/PRA-B.2022.1589Annotation: Dorfeld introduces this collection of essays on the precarity of part-time and contingent faculty, who, at the time of publication, formed the majority of higher education instructors in the United States. She begins by reflecting on her own biography as a struggling English scholar entering academia in the late 1990s, then broadens the discussion to include a historical context starting in the 1960s, which outlines the overall decline of full-time and tenure-track faculty. Highlighting this decline, along with the public's misconceptions about academia, Dorfeld discusses how academics have organized to combat precarious working conditions and shrinking career opportunities. She then presents the four-part structure of the collection: an overview of the current higher education landscape, the debilitating effects of this landscape on part-time and contingent faculty, perspectives from those within the academy, and views from those who have left the profession. The introduction ends on a cautiously hopeful note, encouraging solidarity among faculty while also offering support to those who have chosen new career paths [Rene Jasso].

1000. Dressel, Paul L. (ed.). (1958). Evaluation in the Basic College at Michigan State University. New York: Harper and Brothers..
Annotation: Trained in mathematics, Dressel began teaching at Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) in 1934. This 1958 edited collection covers general-assessment efforts that had begun in 1944 managed by a Board of Examiners under a central administrative unit (the Basic College). The edited collection is divided into five sections: evaluation in general; students; examinations; counselors, and improvements. Focusing on a general education program required of all students, the volume reports institutional research between 1944 and 1955. In four coursesùCommunication Skills, Natural Science, Social Science, and Humanitiesùstudents received a final grade based on a ô50-50 compositeö of the grade from the instructor and the score from the examination (p. 8). The volume was intended to be especially useful to those who have ôbecome concerned with self studies and educational research adventuresö (18)ùan especially important topic following the VeteranÆs Readjustment Act of 1952 in which educational courses were to be accredited by a nationally recognized agency or association. Of special interest to the history of holistic scoring is a Part 1 of a chapter (ôIn the Course of Courses,ö pp. 116-135) by Osmond Palmer on the Communication Skills examination. Including both a speech and a written paper, the examination required that instructors had to listen to 40 additional hours of speeches during the last week of the course and read 120 papers during the last two weeks. Topics for speeches were prompted by a statement such as ôWe should improve a strong censorship on the morality of books and moviesö and were given an hour and a half to prepare the presentation (p. 121). Speeches were rated on fluency, physical control, vocal control, sense of communication and point and development of point. Topics for written communication were prompted in one of two ways: by a broad topic such as politics; or by a packet of maps and statistics about a given location accompanied by the task that a student must argue why (or why not) the town was good place to live. Using a weighted ôcategoryö scoring similar to that of the speeches (p. 122), papers were rated analytically on point, syntax, grammar and mechanics, paragraphing and organization, and achievement of point. Studies focusing on reader agreement found that ôraters tend to get an overall impression of the value of a paper and mark the rating sheet to agree with that impressionö (p. 124). [For more on this important chapter, see Palmer and Nelson, 1958; Haswell and Elliot, 2019, pp. 126-127.] DresselÆs edited volume closes with an extended analysis of the importance of student attitudes as they are related to student success. Along with DresselÆs Evaluation in Higher Education (1961), Evaluation in the Basic College at Michigan State University may be seen as an early evaluation handbook of post-secondary education that is thoughtful and comprehensive.
