Take your science instruction to the next level with this book: design science courses that are fun to teach; improve student learning outcomes; spend less time lecturing and more time teaching; and use blending to teach any type of science course or lab. Why blend? Utilizing a blended learning platform, science faculty can design courses for both majors and non-majors that focus on active learning and student-centred teaching strategies. By integrating technology and other blending tools and strategies, you will spend less in-class time lecturing and more time on application, analysis, creation, and evaluation.

With this book, the Part-Time Press launches a series on teaching aimed at helping college faculty tackle some of the thorniest and most pressing challenges they face as educators. This book tackles grading.
Ego cogito, ergo sum: I think therefore I am. To play on that famous phrase you could say, I teach therefore I grade. But who taught you how to grade student work? Chances are that no professor, faculty orientation or conference presentation provided you with the low-down on how to grade, much less how to grade effectively and efficiently. If this is the case, you re using Model T grading strategies in a self-driving car grading world. The good news is that it s relatively simple to learn to implement technology, techniques and strategies that will reduce the amount of time you spend grading.

Today's college students are not eager to sit in cles and listen to dry lectures. They crave involvement, voice, authenticity and creativity. In other words, they crave engagement. Engagement is beneficial for both the faculty member and the student. Engagement increases student retention, success and enjoyment. A reputation for being an engaging instructor can also make the difference in a dynamic and competitive higher education job market. This book was written as a how-to guide for engaging instruction, but it also provides the science behind why engagement is so important. You will find tech tools as well as old school methods within these pages. In this book, author Julie Smith outlines successful strategies and provides proven tips that help faculty create and facilitate engaging, student-centered courses. She shares the research. Read real-life examples of best practices, and how to implement those best practices easily and successfully.
