This paper attempts to shed more light on the teaching practices of part-time faculty members and their impacts on community college students. Thus, it carries out a comprehensive literature review. The review shows convincing findings. It has been found that part-time faculty members employ traditional teaching practices compared to full-time faculty members. These teaching practices have, to varying degrees, negative effects on community college students. It has also been found that some of the compelling factors that hinder part-time faculty members from utilizing effective teaching practices are institutional and departmental policies and practices. This paper identifies some gaps in the literature and calls for future studies. It delineates a couple of recommendations aiming at improving the teaching practices of part-time faculty as well as their working conditions.
