Summary: A Must Read for College Instructors
Comment: The title got my attention, and the table of contents convinced me to read this book. I am very impressed with the way the authors clearly explained the context of teaching today, and in the way they addressed the conflicting pressures that instructors like me perceive. I am asked to facilitate student success by my instructional leaders with little guidance on how to achieve it. This book provides that guidance. Like many, I perceive a call to lower standards to aid student retention, but that totally contradicts why I chose the profession.
This book provides me with the tools to facilitate increased success among my students, while helping feel much better about my role. Many are relatively simple, but extremely helpful for use in the classroom. The book also addresses how to manage key retention mileposts of each term; how to achieve greater effectiveness with first generation students;and how to ensure my evaluation methods are valid and appropriate.
It has made me think about my teaching in a much more grounded way. It is the most practical book about teaching that I have ever read!

Summary: Teaching College in an Age of Accountability
Comment: This text is a must have for the new and seasoned professors alike! I found myself continually noting practical ideas that I can immediately use to polish and enhance my practice as well as improvements I can make for future courses. The authors generate an authentic and realistic picture of the college classroom today-they've been there! From planning and launching a successful semester to generating effective instructional methods and assesments during the course, this book is filled with specific and practical ideas throughout.
