A Handbook for Teachers in Universities and Colleges A Guide to Improving Teaching Methods

About this book

"This fully revised, updated and expanded fourth edition of A handbook for teachers in univeristies and colleges covers much new ground. Academics in teaching posts in universities and colleges have often had no teacher training, and frequently lack practical knowledge of how teaching should be approached and organized. Likewise, many require guidance on planning courses, preparing and using teaching materials, and assessing students' work. This fourth edition covers all of these areas in a clear, down-to-earth and entertaining manner, offering copious practical advice and guidance. It also includes new material on teaching with the internet and online resources, and on the moves in institutions towards greater accountability and quality assessment. Contemporary and comprehensive in scope, with new chapters on student-centered learning and evaluating learning and teaching, the books is distinguished by its practical and easy-to-read approach. It will be relevant for all teachers in higher education, whatever their role, who are seeking to develop their professional skills and the quality of their teaching, as well as for staff developers." - Back cover.
