Adjuncts typically are “offthe radar screen” of the Dean and Chair, hence receive minimal feedback except from students intheir classes. Adjuncts often have little authority to improve the laboratory/class they teach andmay not be included in curriculum decisions. Supto recommends that “every adjunct shouldhave a full-time faculty member assigned as an advocate and resource” but this often isn’t thecase1. Adjuncts are often left to fend for themselves.Departments and faculty may want to do an excellent job of teaching undergraduates, yet it isoften the lack of resources and not

For example, sessions held in computer labs involve a professor orteaching assistant demonstrating spreadsheet skills or techniques that can be mimicked bystudents. While instructors can give real time feedback in computer laboratories with smallnumbers of students, measuring students’ spreadsheet skills at scale is quite difficult.Alternatively, multiple choice tests can assess spreadsheet skills [10].

This approach does great injustice to newcomers to expertcommunities as well as robs experts of opportunities to learn from “a wisdom of peripherality”([23] p. 216), i.e., the invaluable perspective of outsiders.
