Customer Reviews

Not as practical as I expected
I am disappointed in this book. I expected some practical and detailed suggestions for activities to incorporate in my college classroom. Instead, I got vague, general suggestions that, to a college instructor who has a background in education as well as my content area, seem like mostly common sense. I would recommend this book only for new teachers who have little or no background in education.

Sober and quite outdated
I did not find this book too useful. It is written in a very sober style and the writer assumes that all of us still use old fashioned methods such as writing intensively on the chalkboard and overhead projectors.
