Teaching Large Classes Well

Until now, though seasoned practitioners know of the problems and have implemented solutions, a practical compendium of advice on teaching and learning in large classes has not appeared in the literature. This volume is an attempt to remedy that omission. It is intended to provide faculty who are teaching a large course for the first time practical advice that will ease the transition from small to large classes. It is the sort of volume every department head should hand out along with teaching assignments for large sections and pass on to colleagues who labor hard and conscientiously in these difficult instructional situations.
