Quick Hits
The original "quick hits" were collected in 1991 at a FACET gathering to exchange tips about successful teaching. Each participant described a particular challenge and explained how he or she handled it.
The book covers four main areas: General Teaching Tips, Student Motivation and Involvement, Philosophies of Teaching and Learning, and Discipline-Specific Ideas. It deals with such subjects as first days, teleconferences, enlivening lecture courses, motivation, intergroup conflict, teamwork, student boredom, classroom leadership, writing, science, history, music . . . and much more. A brief mention of Quick Hits in the Chronicle of Higher Education led to a flood of orders.
