Adaptability, enthusiasm, and a desire to constantly
improve one's methods are the hallmarks of an effective teacher. With
years of experience teaching law and ethics in business school, Perry
Binder brings a comprehensive teaching guide to assist those in the
teaching profession in finding creative ways to nurture and refine young
minds and help them reach their fullest potential. In Innovative
College Teaching, Binder shows readers how to make the first day of a
class memorable, engage with students and make a lasting impression,
improve one's teaching techniques and skills, prepare students for
multiple choice and essay exams, and much more. Binder also emphasizes
the importance of adopting new-age technology in classes, such as using
AI to create interactive modules and write prompts, and integrating
social media and other internet platforms into the curriculum to make
the learning process dynamic.
It doesn't matter whether you're taking the first steps in your teaching
career or are already an experienced veteran. Innovative College
Teaching is a must-read for anyone who loves to teach regardless of
their chosen subject/department. While the first part of the book
focuses on Perry Binder's own teaching process that he has developed
over the years in this profession, the second part contains interviews
with different professors from the fields of law, science, arts,
business, and technology, as they answer and offer their expert advice
on five specific topics related to teaching and education. They talk
about their inspiration to teach, their teaching methods, and how they
continue to improve on their teaching techniques. This is an educational
book for teachers to hone their skills further. I found it very
informative, relevant, and motivational, and I highly recommend it.
