"If I'm putting them to sleep, at least it's mutual. They're killing me."
If your class is ever bored, hostile, aggressive, or just not quite right, if you are open to suggestion and want to fix it yourself, this teaching improvement manual is for you. Organized for easy reference, Small Group Teaching will provide a lift for lagging classroom morale and interaction. So if your students were silent today, don't blame them or yourself, look up the solutions in this do-it-yourself guide.
Professor Richard G. Tiberius based Small Group Teaching on his experiences as a teaching consultant at the Centre for Studies in Medical Education at the University of Toronto, and on his meetings, seminars, and workshops with individuals and groups of community college and university faculty in virtually every discipline. His previous teaching has included high school in Los Angeles and the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania; he is now conducting a graduate course in faculty development at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. He first airs his evolving ideas with his two daughters and hi wife, all of whom are at the University of Toronto, his daughters as students and Joyce as a cancer researcher. A third daughter will join the conversations in 2005 when she too is at university. (From the Publisher)
