University of Namibia's Part-Time Tutors versus Universal Competencies.
Beukes, H. A.
South African Journal of Higher Education, v10 n1 p164-67 1996

A study of these teachers' classroom behavior and attention to course content, based on observations made by their full-time faculty supervisors, suggests that they are substantially lacking in teaching and communication skills.
