How part-time faculty can strive for teaching excellence

I would have to write a response longer than the actual article to list all the ways this information is inaccurate. I've tried every one of these, and not one has worked. Service is largely ignored, sometimes has a negative effect (admin act as though they are allowing you to 'play' at being a full-time faculty member and sometimes even act like it's in in convenience to them. Faculty mentors are frequently busy, unconcerned and even threatened by a go-getter adjunct. Students don't tend to appreciate your taken an interest in them. etc. etc. etc.

I have to agree entirely with the first commentator. This advice is quite incorrect. It is an invitation to do more work for free for an institution which is already exploiting you. I have stellar student evaluations, won teaching awards and innovative teaching grants. This counts for nothing when it comes to getting a permanent job. I refer you to a blog post written by a colleague of mine, with a much more accurate perspective for University teachers employed on temporary contracts https://profhistorygeek.wordpress.com/2016/03/28/the-rules-of-adjunctification-or-what-i-learned-i-had-in-common-with-oliver-twist/
