The Joy of Teaching (EasyRead Large Bold Edition) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. [This book] provides helpful guidance for new instructors developing and teaching their first college courses. [In the book, the author] proposes that teaching should not be like a baseball game in which the instructor pitches ideas to students to see whether they hit or strike out. Ideally, he says, teaching should resemble a game of Frisbee in which the teacher invites students to catch ideas and pass them on. Rather than prescribe a single model for success, [he] examines the advantages and disadvantages of various pedagogical strategies, inviting new teachers to make choices based on their own personalities, values, and goals. [In the book, he also] tackles everything from syllabus writing and lecture planning to class discussions, grading, and teacher-student interactions outside the classroom. [The book is] for new teachers in all fields. Instructors in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences will all welcome its invaluable tips for successful teaching and learning.-Back cover.
