Reviews for "Engaging College Students: A Fun and Edgy Guide for Professors"
Congratulations with your success with this book. Based on your other books, you seem to be a master of several fields.
During my years of teaching rather technical subjects I've found that using humor kept the students engaged much better than any other method. I also used to portray difficult technical concepts because I found that I could visualize those concepts better than using straight mathematics or logic. Finally while teaching statistics, I gave the students my notes so that they wouldn't write down a watered-down portion or try to write down every word in their notes, but be able to add to or find questions in mine. In one summer course I gave 8 As, 1 B, and 1 C... my best class ever.
