With the introduction of a full-time instructional designer on staff, faculty wereguaranteed ten hours of consultation time to use at their own discretion with the opportunity formore if the instructional designer’s schedule allows. Completion of the Faculty Institute wasfurther defined to state that the course must be developed and built out to the standards outlinedin a provided document of the university’s best practices for online teaching (Appendix A)before the stipend may be received. An action plan (Appendix B) was re-integrated into theprocess to

evaluations are completed online voluntarily by the student before the grades are final.The evaluation questions vary from class to class, but every course has four required questionsand multiple other questions chosen by the faculty, department, and college. Students use arating scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) for all questions. For our analysis, weselected 12 questions that: (a) we believed measured the outcomes associated with the TeachingCircle and (b) had sufficient responses amongst all groups for use in the analysis. Thesequestions are listed in Table 1.We selected these 12 questions for the following reasons:• Question 1 gives an overview of what students thought of a course.• Question 2 is tied directly to our

graduates, co-op activities, and potential development ofcollaborative research programs. Unfortunately, adjuncts are marginalized by the academicsystems in place today; and their contributions to the academic process are undervalued. Next,the paper reports on the success story of an adjunct, a practitioner with good credentials, who“teamed-up” with a “full-time” faculty, in an attempt to bring the practice to 4 thyear students in ageotechnical/ foundation engineering class. The success achieved in meeting course objectives,as a result of practitioner’s role, was attributed, in large measure, to proper planning andcoordination that preceded course delivery. Plus, the willingness, experience and abilities of theadjunct in addressing the practice in
