This book offers faculty practical strategies to engage students
that are grounded in research and endorsed by students themselves.
Through student stories, a signature feature of this book, readers
will discover why professor actions result in changed attitudes,
stronger connections to others and the course material, and
increased learning. Structured to cover the key moments and
opportunities to increase student engagement, Christine Harrington
covers the all-important first day of class where first impressions
can determine students' attitudes for the duration of the course,
through to insights for rethinking assignments and enlivening
teaching strategies, to ways of providing feedback that build
students' confidence and spur them to greater immersion in their
studies, providing the underlying rationale for the strategies she
presents. The student narratives not only validate these practices,
offering their perspectives as learners, but constitute a trove of
ideas and practices that readers will be inspired to adapt for
their particular needs. Conscious of the changing demographics of
today's undergraduate and graduate students - racially more
diverse, older, and many employed - Harrington highlights the need
to engage all students and shares numerous strategies on how to do
so. While many of the ideas presented were used by faculty teaching
face to face classes, a number were developed by faculty teaching
online, and the majority can be adapted to virtually any teaching
environment. Based on student-centered active learning principles,
structured to allow readers to quickly identify practices that they
may need in particular instances or to infuse in a course as a
whole, and presented without jargon, this book is a springboard for
all faculty looking for ideas that will engage their students at
any level and in any course.
