=Publications

The following items are available from Indiana University Press:

 Quick Hits: The original "quick hits" were collected in 1991 at a FACET gathering to exchange tips about successful teaching. Each participant described a particular challenge and explained how he or she handled it. The book covers four main areas: General Teaching Tips, Student Motivation and Involvement, Philosophies of Teaching and Learning, and Discipline-Specific Ideas. It deals with such subjects as first days, teleconferences, enlivening lecture courses, motivation, intergroup conflict, teamwork, student boredom, classroom leadership, writing, science, history, music and much more. A brief mention of Quick Hits in the Chronicle of Higher Education led to a flood of orders.

 More Quick Hits: More Quick Hits, the second in the Quick Hits series, includes special sections on service and learning, technology and learning, and using assessment and evaluation for learning. Included among these strategies are tips for designing courses and environments that promote learning, innovative strategies for creating learning communities, communities where not only students learn, but teachers do too. An annotated "Quick List" of weightier resources on teaching and learning is included at the end of the volume, and "Quick Wits," words and pictures to both encourage and amuse, are sprinkled throughout the book.
