Essential Guide for College Teachers
Reviewed in Spain on July 30, 2025
Perry Binder’s “Innovative College Teaching” is exactly what new and experienced college instructors need. This law professor writes in a relaxed, modern style that makes learning about teaching enjoyable.
The book covers everything: first-day strategies, icebreakers, online teaching, interactive activities, group projects, and exam preparation. What sets it apart is the practical advice on using AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E for creative projects—very timely! Binder speaks from experience as well as through interviews with other educators for a well-rounded conversation.
Binder’s real classroom examples are incredibly helpful. His humour shines through, like when he tells students: “If you’re sitting in jail accused of homicide, never say ‘Professor Binder said it would be okay if I did this.” This shows how he uses exaggeration and humour to make memorable teaching points.
Whether you’re thinking of a part-time employment as a college teacher or a seasoned professor, this book offers practical tips you can use immediately. It’s written like advice from a helpful colleague rather than a dry academic text. Highly recommended!
