Afterword: New Paradigms for College Teaching (Karl A. Smith and Alisha A. Waller)
This book is meant for faculty searching for new ways to teach, for alternatives to the traditional lecture method we all learned in graduate school. We include chapters on a variety of ways teachers can connect with their students and help them learn: cooperative learning, writing-across-the-curriculum, active learning, learning communities, and so on. Each of these methodologies is described exhaustively elsewhere, in books and journals and at conferences. This book brings brief discussions of them together in one accessible volume, with references to sources where readers can learn more. (From the Publisher)
