5.0 out of 5 stars
Wide ranging and very sound,
By A Customer
This review is from: Effective Teaching in Higher Education (Paperback)
George Brown and Madeleine Atkins are both deeply respected researchers and practitioners in this field. Though treatment of each topic is necessarily brief the sections on lectures, small group teaching and research supervision are particularly good. The mnemonics used for example in the section on evaluation, are, perhaps, a little gimmicky; but overall the book is useful.
