Review:
This book could be required reading for any teacher who wants to pick up powerful, evidence-based humor techniques for in-class delivery, course hand-out materials, web sites, distance learning, and even course exams (to minimize test anxiety and maximize retention). We love Ron's sense of humor that pervades the practical ideas thoughout the book - he truly practices what he teaches. You will learn terrific techniques that are applicable to any instructional level (even.. and most especially the most 'serious' of subjects) --Humor Project, Inc.
He continues to inform and amuse readers about how he has used numerous strategies to help students enjoy various courses while learning the contents. The book's eight chapters are presented in two parts that focus on teaching and assessment. Recommended. --Choice
