Description: Researchers
at the University of Washington conducted a study which examined professors’
teaching styles, specifically changes that they made to their teaching. They
were especially interested in the types of changes that were made and the
reasons for the changes.
Writing style: A
combination of study results and anecdotes.
Audience: Anyone
interested in undergraduate pedagogy.
Major ideas: The
study identified a group of the best professors (based on awards for teaching);
there were also randomly chosen professors in the group. Both sets change their
teaching methods more than the researchers expected, with the best professors
showing the most changes.
Wrap-up: This
book was not a bad read, but I think I could have done as well with a well-done
précis. 3/5*
