Voices of Experience: Reflections from a Harvard Teaching Seminar

In these twelve essays, academics in fields like psychology, literature, chemistry, music, sociology, history, and mathematics consider their teaching experiences, and the lessons they have learned from teaching. Discussing experiences both inside and outside of the classroom, the writers describe their successes and setbacks, their innovations and techniques, and their analyses of teaching as shaped by their own efforts. Conceptual thinking, interactive learning, cultural diversity, seminars and lectures, homework, writing, and grades are all discussed. (From the Publisher)
