Very Kind Amazon Book Review: Innovative College Teaching

From a professor in Texas...

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick read, loaded with helpful tips!

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2024

This book has several sections, each with lovely and insightful ideas. The first section is from the author, and shares thoughts on class structure, first day activities, using AI and keeping students engaged. I found the tips useful and easy to apply without requiring a whole course redesign. The second part is a series of narratives from several master teachers, showing how they teach in their varied disciplines. It was great to read so many inspiring stories from excellent instructors. My brain immediately went to ways I could pull from their experiences into my own courses. Lastly, the appendix has actual samples that range from funny to instantly implementable. Great book that can help you grow your teaching practice without a huge time investment.
