Just what it advertises

This book is just what it advertises - it is good down-to-earth and practical advice for those just starting out on their teaching careers. I've been teaching for several years but I found a good number of ideas in here to help orient our new faculty. I have just pulled every book in the library I could find on preparing faculty to instruct and this one was the best of the entire pile. I think it should be read by everyone just starting their teaching career.
