James M. Lang, ON COURSE: A Week-by-Week Guide to Your First Semester of College Teaching

"Briskly moving through the basics, [Lang] tackles the hard questions...with humor and insight...'On Course' is a vital resource for educators, even those who don't fit the first-year college-teaching market. My copy is dotted with notes about new ideas to try out in my lecture class this fall. Happily though, I took away from Lang's guidebook much more than techniques."

This is the very best book on teaching that I have read over the years. I think it works well for new first-time faculty. I have also shared it with master teachers to read and place in context Lange's thoughts for new colleagues at their institution. I think it would also be ideal for new students to college to read to better understand what great teaching and a great class should be like. Then they can contribute and "manage teaching up." Have purchased and given 25+ copies away.
