Rezensionen

Doing anything for the first time often brings uncertainty. To address the uncertainties faced by new college teachers, Mary C. Clement presents the nuts and bolts of teaching practice in a very readable style. First Time in the College Classroom includes practical strategies on multiple aspects of teaching at the college level, such as how to choose a textbook, construct a syllabus, and develop a test. Believing that teaching is a learned skill, Clement provides essential knowledge to reduce beginning college teachers' anxiety. Her guide offers a life preserver to help new college teachers swim not sink. -- Patricia H. Phelps, professor of teaching and learning, University of Central Arkansas For new teaching assistants, instructors, and professors at colleges and universities who may not know the basics of teaching, Clement (teacher education, Berry College) provides a guide to organizing and teaching curriculum at the college level, as well as career advice. She presents strategies based on research and her experiences, for teaching methods, classroom organization and management, assessment, and dealing with students, including getting a job, what to do on the first day, writing a syllabus and lesson plans (with samples), grading and tests, teaching with active learning and technology, dealing with student behavior, and earning promotions and tenure.
