Drop that Chalk! A Guide to Better Teaching at Colleges and
Universities is designed for those planning to teach - or already
teaching and hoping to improve instruction - in colleges,
universities, or other institutions of higher education. This book
delineates the process of planning a course from designing course
objectives to creating a syllabus, selecting course materials and
technologies, determining which teaching strategies to employ and
how to best implement them, to creating assessments, course
evaluations, and assigning grades. Advantages and disadvantages of
teaching and assessment techniques are shared, along with
research-based guidance for effectively implementations. Guidelines
for creating effective on-line courses are presented. This book
also explains thirteen aspects of student diversity to help
teachers understand their students, more effectively plan
instruction for them, and shares a range of other suggestions to
help maintain positive and effective learning environments that
ensure students' success. The techniques and myriad examples shared
in this book are based on the authors' over sixty years of combined
teaching experiences, and on current research in educational
psychology and related disciplines.
