Quick Hits for New Faculty: Successful Strategies by Award-Winning Teachers

Rosanne M. Cordell, Betsy Lucal, Robin K. Morgan, Sharon Hamilton & Robert Orr, eds. Bloomington, Indiana: Indiana University Press, 2004; 170 pp; ISBN: 0-253-21709-1, paper $14.95 US.
This is the third and latest book in the "quick hits" tradition of providing sound advice from award-winning college faculty. While the first two volumes of Quick Hits focused on teaching in general, this volume is aimed primarily at helping new faculty members acclimate to life in academe. The articles and strategies range from planning for that first day in the classroom to evaluating student learning to documenting teaching to understanding the politics of teaching and learning in the department and institution. Quick Hits for New Faculty guides new faculty through the start of an important journey that ultimately will take the teacher from novice to accomplished professional.
