Forty-seven faculty, postdoctorate fellows, graduate students, and administrators, most based at U.S. institutions, contribute 25 essays addressing the basic aspects of teaching in a university setting. New and revised chapters venture beyond the content of the first edition to include discussion and analysis of cutting-edge topics in higher education. Coverage includes the traditional topics lecturing, leading discussions, and designing laboratory and studio courses as well as a range of contemporary issues, such as teaching for diversity, using technology, assessing student learning, service learning, the adjunct instructor, nontraditional students, ethical issues, and the balancing of multiple responsibilities.
