Synopsis

"First Day to Final Grade" is both a quick at-a-glance reference tool and indispensable guide in preparation for teaching. It focuses on the "how tos," such as setting up a lesson plan, running a discussion, and grading, as well as issues specific to the teaching assistant's unique role as both student and teacher. This new edition of "First Day to Final Grade" incorporates newer teaching and learning pedagogy. Among other things, the authors have modified sections on moving from class goals to class content; preparing for and running discussions; addressing problems within the class and with particular students; and responding to academic misconduct. In addition, the book has been updated to reflect the role of technology both inside and outside the classroom. Also included are new examples of materials throughout the text and appendix.
