Ralph's text is for anyone interested in the improvement of instructional or presentation skills at the adult undergraduate level, such as newly hired professors and graduate teaching assistants, but it is also suitable for experienced educators who want to reassess their own practice. Focusing on the use and management of time—and timing, coverage includes theory and central assumptions about time- use in teaching, a conceptual framework for planning time-use, techniques and practical classroom examples, and guidelines for student assessment. The author has 40 years of instructional experience and has written extensively on teaching strategies and methods. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
