Here's how to submit your work to TFS for evaluation:

2. Subject line of your e-mail message should read: "TFS article_(Short Title)_(Author Last Name)."

3. Style hints: Keep it upbeat, engaging and positive; we prefer addressing the reader as "you;" bullet lists are encouraged. Keep paragraphs short, this in an online publication. Use subheads to keep readers interested. The bottom line is to help a part-time, adjunct or full-time faculty to improve their teaching and give them practical ideas and steps on how they can impact teaching and learning.
