Summary: Every new college instructor should read this book
Comment: This book is required reading in my seminar on college teaching. Boice lays out, clearly & succintly, the argument that good teachers are made, not born. His 10 tips are gems. Practiced patiently, as he suggests, the tips will relieve the anxiety many beginning instructors feel as they (over)prepare for their first semester. His ideas on reducing classroom incivilities are easy to implement, and his recommendation to "pause" --while counter-intuitive -- really works! Finally, he shows that practices promoting excellent teaching also promote excellent research, a message that junior faculty will find reassuring!
