About the Book Series

The 500 Tips series offers sound practical advice in a tried and tested format. Each book has a wealth of practical tips to assist both those new to teaching in higher education and experienced lecturers who want to hone their professional skills. Each book groups the tips into logical sections designed to build confidence in a particular area of teaching. These sections will be enhanced in the new editions and brought to life by the new addition of real-life mini-case studies, which will clearly show readers how the techniques can be applied to great effect in a variety of educational settings. A detailed bibliography will lead readers to further reading should they want to delve deeper into particular areas of teaching or learning. Written by some of the best-known experts in the field of staff development the books offer instant ways to add professionalism and impact to readers' higher education teaching skills. Not tied to any particular teaching system, the advice is as applicable in Ohio State as it is in Oxford, Singapore or Johannesburg.
