About this item

McKeachie's Teaching Tips is a handbook designed to provide helpful strategies for dealing with both the everyday problems of teaching at the university level, and those that pop up in trying to maximize learning for every student. The suggested strategies are supported by research and are grounded in enough theory to enable teachers to adapt them to their own situations. The author does not suggest a "set of recipes" to be followed mechanically, but gives teachers the tools they need to deal with the ever changing dynamics of teaching and learning. Improved organization and consolidation of chapters allows the text to maintain its handy pocket-size length, while incorporating new information. Guest-authored chapters offer advice and instruction from renowned educators, including Peter Elbow and Mary Deane Sorcinelli on writing, Jane Halonen on laboratory instruction (Chapter 20), and Marilla Svinicki on being a teacher (Chapter 27). Up-to-date technology coverage, (Chapter 18) includes issues such as the use of PowerPoint slides, plagiarism, and effective web research. Additional current coverage includes experimental learning, recent policy shifts, diversity and gender issues, and standards and accountability.
