McKeachie's Teaching Tips: Strategies, Research, and Theory for College and University Teachers (College Teaching) Description

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.

4 out of 5 stars "Nurse educator" 2010-02-07
By Nurse Educator student (Michigan)
    Recommended by my professor as a 'recommended resource'; I have found it very useful as I prepare to become a nurse educator; it is a resource that she frequently uses....

5 out of 5 stars "More than tips..." 2009-09-26
By B. Rogers (Greeley, CO United States)
    In this small book, McKeachie does provide a plethora of good teaching tips for the college-level TA or new instructor. But he also shares the results of research into teaching in a way that is clear and persuasive. Considering the "tiger-in-the-living-room" fact that most PhD students will find themselves in front of a classroom full of undergraduates, they could do a lot worse than find themselves in a seminar with this book as the central tool.

5 out of 5 stars "Wonderful collection of practical tips and scholarly 'lore'" 2009-09-13
By Jeff
    If you are looking for great ideas based on sound theory and practice, McKeachie's book is the way to go. His book is organized into sections that will guide you from a few months before the first day of class right up to the final exam. His collection of suggestions help with class discussions, grading papers, dealing with difficult student situations, incorporating new media into the classroom, and many other pertinent topics.

A remarkably useful book. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars "It is useful" 2009-07-12
By Wayne E. Ballentine
    This is a functional book for persons who want to learn how to be a better teacher or instructor. Most of us who have this for a profession know we can always learn something of benefit. The biggest problem we have are time, resources and effort required to step out of our comfort zone.

5 out of 5 stars "Teaching Tips" 2009-06-10
By Jesus Delapena (San Diego, CA)
    This is actually a pretty easy read. Just keep in mind that it's a sort of a teaching for dummy's kind of book. It's very detailed but it's some very good material for those odd situation's and gives you guidance on how to handle it. This is a book I will keep in my shelve for as long as I continue to teach.
