About this title

Synopsis

An instructor's guide to the basic defining elements in university teaching written by 29 professors, and including professional enhancement tips for graduate students. The essays review getting started in the classroom, leading discussions, conducting studios and laboratories, using video and writing to enhance instruction, multicultural sensitivity, and the challenges of balancing teacher and student roles. The text is informative and avoids teaching theory, aiming for the more quotidian levels of university instruction. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

From the Back Cover

One of the great changes occurring at leading research universities is a renewed dedication to the quality of undergraduate teaching. Syracuse University was one of the first major universities to develop a summer internship program to train its more than 325 new teaching assistants appointed each year. An outgrowth of that program, this book is invaluable to teaching assistants eager to improve their teaching skills. Contents include Practical Tips for Teaching at the University Level; The Discussion/Recitation Section; The Studio; The Laboratory; Using Writing as an Active Learning Tool; Using Videotape to Enhance Instruction; Gender, Race, and Ethnicity in the Classroom; Working with Students with Special Needs; and Balancing Roles as Teacher, Student, and Person.
