Finally, More Quick Hits offers thoughts on how teachers themselves learn about teaching, including through their mistakes. An annotated "Quick List" of weightier resources on teaching and learning is included at the end of the volume, and "Quick Wits" -- words and pictures to both encourage and amuse -- are sprinkled throughout the book. This sequel to the popular Quick Hits puts the focus on learning. More Quick Hits offers simple but successful strategies that award-winning teachers have found help promote student understanding and retention. The book also tells how to create the best environment in which to teach the courses you love.
