! AbstractHomework accomplishes little or nothing. The few student who do complete it benefit but theoverwhelming majority copy (incorrectly often) their classmates’ efforts and think they can buildup a cushion to pass the course. There is a better way – announced quizzes. That is, suggestsome problems that demonstrate the principles taught in the course then give 10-15 minutequizzes frequently (about thirty (30) times a semester) with increasing point value every week.If the quizzes exactly mirror the “suggested problems” the instructor and the student have a goodmeasure of learning and mastery of the subject material.The task and the joy of teaching is to transfer knowledge from the teacher to the student. At itsbest this transfer involves a knowledgeable

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
