A useful book for teachers. It could use a few more practical suggestions for developing your techniques in teaching. Thank you!

January 9, 2011Highly recommended book for anyone who teaches college-level teaching. It really gets into the interpersonal dynamics of the classroom. We read this in my "Teaching of Popular Fiction and Writing" graduate course at Seton Hill. http://fiction.setonhill.edu

Good overview of teaching techniques. Slightly outdated in the tech department, but that's minor.
