 “I would be more likely to adopt Methods for Effective Teaching because of its straightforward and user-friendly approach. It is full of practical, rather than esoteric, suggestions. Additionally, it provides concrete examples of the different instructional strategies in the book.”" --Dr. Joan Pedro, University of Hartford
