"What a delight to read David Gooblar's book on teaching and
learning. He wraps important insights into a story of discovery and
adventure." -Ken Bain, author of What the Best College Teachers Do
College is changing, but the way we train academics is not. Most
professors are taught to be researchers first and teachers a
distant second, even as scholars are increasingly expected to excel
in the classroom. There has been a revolution in teaching and
learning over the past generation, and we now have a whole new
understanding of how the brain works and how students learn. The
Missing Course offers a field guide to the state-of-the-art in
teaching and learning and is packed with insights to help students
learn in any discipline. Wary of the folk wisdom of the faculty
lounge, David Gooblar builds his lessons on the newest findings and
years of experience. From active-learning strategies to ways of
designing courses to get students talking, The Missing Course walks
you through the fundamentals of the student-centered classroom, one
in which the measure of success is not how well you lecture but how
much your students actually learn. "Warm and empirically based,
comprehensive but accessible, student-centered and also scientific.
We're so lucky to have Gooblar as a guide." -Sarah Rose Cavanagh,
author of The Spark of Learning "Goes beyond critique, offering a
series of activities, approaches, and strategies that instructors
can implement. His wise and necessary book is a long defense of the
idea that a university can be a site of the transformation of self
and society." -Los Angeles Review of Books "An invaluable source of
insight and wisdom on what it means to work with students. We've
needed this book for a long time." -John Warner, author of Why They
Can't Write
