5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book for a quick teaching workshop,
By
This review is from: The Adjunct Faculty Handbook (Paperback)
I was asked to put together a "continuing education" course for community college instructors, and this book came in very handy. I passed it over when we were planning the curriculum for a degree program because it is too general and covers too much ground. However, for a fast-paced introduction to teaching post-secondary classes, this is the book you want.I was tempted to gather free materials and avoid a text for the continuing ed course, but participants find it very handy to have a text to refer to later. And, it is much easier to hand off the course to another instructor if a text is available. This text isn't for every purpose, but I gave it five stars for my purpose of getting college instructors up to speed as quickly as possible before they enter the classroom. The table of contents is a ready-made list of the topics I need to cover.
