Higher education is a strange beast. Teaching is a critical skill
for scientists in academia, yet one that is barely touched upon in
their professional training-despite being a substantial part of
their career. This book is a practical guide for anyone teaching
STEM-related academic disciplines at the college level, from
graduate students teaching lab sections and newly appointed faculty
to well-seasoned professors in want of fresh ideas. Terry McGlynn's
straightforward, no-nonsense approach avoids off-putting
pedagogical jargon and enables instructors to become true
ambassadors for science. For years, McGlynn has been addressing the
need for practical and accessible advice for college science
teachers through his popular blog Small Pond Science. Now he has
gathered this advice as an easy read-one that can be ingested and
put to use on short deadline. Readers will learn about topics
ranging from creating a syllabus and developing grading rubrics to
mastering online teaching and ensuring safety during lab and
fieldwork. The book also offers advice on cultivating productive
relationships with students, teaching assistants, and colleagues.
