McKeachie's Teaching Tips is a handbook designed to provide helpful strategies for dealing with both the everyday problems of teaching at the university level and those that arise in trying to maximize learning for every student. The suggested strategies are supported by research and are grounded in enough theory to enable teachers to adapt them to their own situations. The author does not suggest a set of recipes to be followed mechanically, but gives teachers the tools they need to deal with the ever-changing dynamics of teaching and learning. The book's improved organization and consolidation of chapters allow the text to maintain its handy pocket-size length, while incorporating new information. The 12th edition features coverage of updated technology in the "Technology and Teaching" chapter, which includes issues such as the use of PowerPoint slides, plagiarism, and effective Internet research.
