Synopsis

This book provides a wealth of suggestions, techniques and ideas for the novice instructor. It does not promote a particular teaching style or theoretical orientation, but draws upon recent research findings and years of experience in the trenches of higher education. There are helpful hints on such topics as writing the syllabus, handling complains about "unfair" test questions and grades, preventing cheating, improving teaching performance, using active learning techniques, and lecturing effectively. Using short "mini" essays and chapters, the book covers the whole spectrum of teaching at the postsecondary level, from the instructor's first-day jitters to preparing a tenure portfolio.
