Synopsis

With over 265,000 copies sold, this book is one of the most trusted faculty development resources available today. More than just a teacher's manual, this powerhouse helps readers tackle the day-to-day challenges associated with teaching part-time. It takes faculty members (including those new to the classroom) step-by-step through their teaching course. Readers begin with a discussion about the importance of andragogy, student-centred learning and cooperative/collaborative learning. The book offers loads of suggestions and teaching tips and helps instructors sharpen their skills in order to become more confident and competent in the classroom. This invaluable handbook helps readers build stronger lessons plans, integrate media and technology into lectures effectively, facilitate more dynamic classroom discussions and craft a variety of test types and assessment tools (including self-assessment tools). It offers practical advice and successful strategies in a readable, accessible style and format.
