A really useful book for any college professor who wants to move beyond lectures and give students deeper engagement. A practical, easy to read, and important guide for anyone in higher education.

Mathematical Mindsets, and co-founder of YouCubed.org

This is a terrific collection of tried and true teaching strategies that, unlike most other books on university teaching, is written for the adjunct or contingent university teacher, by someone who's been there. Norman Eng understand the constraints that contingent faculty teach under, and has created a book to help them succeed.

-KAREN KELSKY, best-selling author, founder,
and president of The Professor Is In

Dr. Eng has created an accessible, evidence based guide to effective college instruction that will be particularly valuable for relatively new faculty members who are coming out of graduate programs where there were limited opportunities to teach. He provides practical guidance and anticipates and responds to the numerous challenges all instructors face. This is a very valuable resource, and I encourage its widespread use.

-DAVID H. MONK, Dean, College of Education,
Penn State University

A great resource for college instructors who are interested in excellent teachingaccessible, practical, and full of actionable research-based suggestions.

School of Education, University of Kansas

This book is an excellent source for instructors who would like to take their first steps toward including interactive and hands-on work in their classes, which when done effectively can powerfully shape student learning. In addition, the important support that the book offers for successfully implementing these beginning interactive approaches can give innovative instructors the confidence and inspiration they need to take further steps toward mastering ever more challenging and rewarding approaches to effective teaching.

- GRETCHEN JOHNSON, Dean, School of Education,
City College of New York, City University of New York

Teaching College is chock-full of essential information to help you to make a paradigm shift in how you present your material, from understanding the common problems when lecturing and touching your audience to use slides as support - everything that you do can either create or destroy a learning experience.

-READERS FAVORITE review

"Norman Eng writes as if he has been teaching his whole life. This fresh voice talks to both students and teachers imploring them to develop introspection and curiosity. Eng challenges his readers to cultivate their own abilities. In a conversational tone that is rare and profound in an age that honors reductive and simplistic solutions, the author does not write a "how to" book but one that calls for teachers and students to think deeply as they engage with educational issues."

-KAREL ROSE, Professor, Brooklyn College,
School of Education, CUNY Graduate Center

College instructors are rarely provided with explicit instruction in how to teach effectively. As a university faculty member for more than two decades, I remain puzzled by this phenomenon. Like author Norman Eng, I learned most of what I know about teaching from my experience in a teacher preparation program, as an elementary teacher, and through trial-and-error in college classrooms. Most university instructors, however, have not had the first two experiences and a number of them, in my experience, do not change how they teach to a great degree over the course of their careers. In this highly readable and well-organized text, Dr. Eng shares stories and specific examples from his own teaching and provides practical suggestions and action steps for college instructors seeking to enhance their effectiveness in working with students. As a lifelong teacher, I learned many strategiesincluding how to write a more effective syllabus, alternatives to lectures, and ways to actively engage students in learningthat I am eager to try after reading Teaching College. This book will appeal to both novice instructors and seasoned professors and would be especially useful for faculty members to read and discuss in groups in order to continue their professional growth and development as teachers, conversations we pursue far too infrequently in higher education.

- APRIL BEDFORD, Dean, School of Education,
Brooklyn College, City University of New York

The practical strategies in the book is whats missing in higher ed. No other book helps college instructors with such step-by-step detail. A must read for the novice (and even seasoned) college instructor.

- ALLAN ORNSTEIN, education professor,
St. Johns University, former Fulbright Scholar,
and author of 65 books and 400 articles

Teaching College is the most bang for your buck resource that I have seen for new college instructors. His advice is evidence-based and very practical. You can't go wrong with this book. Highly recommended.

- GWENDOLYN METTETAL, Director, University Center

Indiana University South Bend

What a fantastic book! As someone who has taught in K-12 and college classrooms, I have often lamented the fact that K-12 teachers get so much preparation in the skills of teaching, while those at the college level get none. In Teaching College, Norman Eng closes that gap brilliantly, synthesizing education and marketing into a fresh approach that will significantly change the way college classes are taught worldwide. You will find useful insights and practical, actionable tips on every page, and all of it written in an approachable, conversational style. A must for anyone who teaches at the college level.
