"This book distills over half a century of the authors' combined experience as university professors, consultants, and advisors to corporate training departments. In a hands-on fashion, it describes the fundamental elements in every learning situation, allowing readers to adapt the suggestions to their particular teaching context. It sparks reflection on what we do in the classroom, why we do it, and how it might be done more effectively. The chapters are broadly organized according to things done before class, during class, and in between and after class, so that every instructor, whether newly minted Ph.D.s facing their first classroom experience, experienced faculty looking to polish their teaching techniques, consultants who want to have more impact, or corporate trainers wishing to develop in-house teaching skills, can benefit from the invaluable advice given."--BOOK JACKET.
