Description

This definitive resource covers every aspect of teaching in higher education. Particular emphasis is placed on the two main concerns facing professors in North America and the UK today; the growing emphasis on the quality of college teaching and, more specifically, the increasingly demanding nature of the profession, whereby lecturers are forced to teach more students on a greater number of courses. Pons' practical advice is supported throughout by research evidence.

Reviews

'demonstrates mastery of the art of teaching. It is a very accesible introduction to teaching...a commendable effort to solve the problem of lack of pedagogic training on the part of college instructors...systematic organization of the text gives the book two exceptional characteristics: one that it is easy to navigate through; the other that it makes it a perfect reference companion for instructors with or without formal pre-servicepedagogic training...I would recommend it withouthesitation for any college instructor' * British Educational Research Journal *
