We've just had a french drain installed around our basement. In a couple of places, it was necessary to open a hole in a (non-load-bearing) wall, leaving both a hole in the drywall and a cut stud:
I think we know how to handle the drywall repair ourselves, but first we need to repair the stud so that we have something to which to attach the drywall. What's the correct way to do that for such a small area?
Would we do something like this?
And if that's the right approach, can we use something like construction adhesive to attach the replacement baseplate to the concrete floor?

Your proposed solution is perfect. I'd suggest using pressure treated wood in contact with the concrete. Adhesive probably won't work terribly well, but if you get a couple of screws in on an angle on the right (connecting to the old plate) plus lots of screws elsewhere, everything should hold together well enough to carry drywall.
