Tools for Teaching, Davis, B.G., Jossey-Bass; San Francisco, 1993.

The book describes 49 teaching tools that cover both traditional practical tasks--writing a course syllabus, delivering an effective lecture--as well as newer, broader concerns such as responding to diversity on campus and coping with budget constraints.

Available at the UCB campus library | call # LB2331 .D37

NEW! The entire book is also available online as part of netLibrary (accessible only through computers connected to the UC Berkeley campus network).
