Review
We have been using Thinking About Teaching and Learning at BYU in connection with a large-scale freshman year initiative. The program, consisting basically of multiple learning communities, involves some 22 academic departments and 120 faculty members who serve 1750 freshmen (about 40% of BYU's entering freshman class) each fall semester. We are providing a copy of this book for each faculty member, as well as for several academic support and university administration officers. The ideas, practices and recommendations are first-rate; we appreciate (the) work in putting the volume together. (It is) particularly good, in my judgment, in helping faculty distinguish between the 'game' syndrome and genuinely mindful learning. --Clark Webb, BYU
This book is for teachers of first-year students. Although many of its themes are standard, it is well worth reading for its wisdom, unusual perspective, and refreshing style. These qualities reflect the author's personality and his background as a biologist and a very experienced teacher at both secondary and tertiary levels. A strong appeal is the author's delightful style, and his memorable imagery and anecdotes. I recommend this thought-provoking and enjoyable book to anyone involved in teaching first-year students."-Educational Developments "While this book is essentially a study of pedagogy, it is not in the least dry or intimidating. It flows wonderfully and is written with humour and compassion...This book is highly recommended for experts and novices alike. It has practical ideas for classroom techniques, balanced by thoughtful, well-researched ideas about the nature of teaching. For anyone who teaches in a classroom, this is a quick and enlightening read. --Nursing Education Perspectives
