Book Reviews of What the Best College Teachers Do
Book Review: Should be required reading for professors
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the past fifteen years, research and writing on the subject of college teaching has accelerated at a rapid pace. Every year passing seems to bring excellent publications worthy of a high ranking on any reading list for new faculty and their more seasoned colleagues. At the top of my list is Ken Bain's, What the Best College Teacher's Do (Harvard University Press, 2004). This is a wonderful book -- a must read for new faculty. It might also surprise and motivate even the most experienced professors.
