In 2008, these teachers cost about $1,800 per 3-credit class as opposed to $8,000 per class for a tenured professor. Two-thirds of college instructors were adjuncts. There are differences of opinion on whether these adjuncts teach better or worse than regular professors. There is a suspicion that student evaluation of adjuncts, along with their subsequent continued employment, can lead to [[grade inflation]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Clark, Kim|title=Does it Matter That Your Professor Is Part Time?|publisher=U.S. News & World Report|date=November 17–24, 2008}}</ref>
