David Gooblar – who teaches at the University of Iowa and writes a column for the Chronicle of Higher Education – has written the book that I wish existed when I started teaching. He tells us what he has learned about college-level teaching, as one who started with the goal of presenting brilliant lectures to one who now believes that your success or failure depends “on the extent to which you help other people learn.” He embeds his discussion of pedagogical research in the story of his own transformation. This is a wonderful, thoughtful, and warm introduction to the science of teaching.
