Gathering concepts and techniques borrowed from outstanding college professors, The Joy of Teaching provides helpful guidance for new instructors developing and teaching their first college courses.

Award-winning professor Peter Filene proposes that teaching should not be like a baseball game in which the instructor pitches ideas to students to see whether they hit or strike out. Ideally, he says, teaching should resemble a game of Frisbee in which the teacher invites students to catch ideas and pass them on.

Rather than prescribe a single model for success, Filene examines the advantages and disadvantages of various pedagogical strategies, inviting new teachers to make choices based on their own personalities, values, and goals. Filene tackles everything from syllabus writing and lecture planning to class discussions, grading, and teacher-student interactions outside the classroom. The book's down-to-earth, accessible style makes it appropriate for new teachers in all fields. Instructors in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences will all welcome its invaluable tips for successful teaching and learning..

When it was first published in 1997, The Course Syllabus became the gold standard reference for both new and experienced college faculty Like the first edition, this book is based on a learner-centered approach Because faculty members are now deeply committed to engaging students in learning, the syllabus has evolved into a useful, if lengthy, document. Today's syllabus provides details about course objectives, requirements and expectations, and also includes information about teaching philosophies, specific activities and the rationale for their use, and tools essential to student success..

This book shows college instructors how to communicate their course organization to students in a graphic syllabus—a one-page diagram, flowchart, or concept map of the topical organization—and an outcomes map—a one-page flowchart of the sequence of student learning objectives and outcomes from the foundational through the mediating to the ultimate. It also documents the positive impact that graphics have on student learning and cautions readers about common errors in designing graphic syllabi..

Welcome to FRONTRUNNERS INTERNAL MEDICINE Q&A REVIEW, designed to prepare you for the INTERNAL MEDICINE CERT & RECERT as well as the medicine and subspecialty components of the USMLE Steps 2 & 3. Students who are preparing for the USMLE and are thinking about a residency in medicine as well as current medicine residents will ALSO be way ahead of the game when it comes time to sit for their MEDICINE BOARDS (yes, there's actually one more exam after step 3 (!) and it's the all-important one that makes you "board-certified"). This book is an excellent COMPANION to the Frontrunners Internal Medicine Board Review Syllabus, which remains the syllabus for the Frontrunners Board Review courses that are held throughout the year. While designed with the boards in mind, these resources are nonetheless outstanding study aids for medical students, residents, and practicing internists who simply want the best no-nonsense and most realistic Q&A review of internal medicine in all of its subspecialties. And for those who are simply looking to expand their fund of knowledge in medicine, this back is without compare, and is ideal for health care professionals at all levels, including nursing practitioners and physician assistants. If you're a mnemonics fan (and who isn't?) and you're prepping for the boards, then you'll definitely want to check out TURBO MNEMONICS FOR THE BOARDS. See the "Quick Order Form" at the end of this book. With over 400 memory aids to the most commonly asked material, it can only turbo-boost your performance on the boards! Over the years, we've been blessed with hundreds of questions and answers material that have been voluntarily submitted by physicians who have gone on to pass their boards, in their effort to help those "soldiers left behind"! We have therefore pooled for you from our database all the questions amassed to date, with the answers and explanations as appropriate. This ongoing feedback not only continues to make our board review course progressively stronger but has helped physicians pass this at-times seemingly impossible hurdle called the boards. This critical board review resource is chock-full of over 1,300 internal medicine board review questions to maximally prepare you for your boards. Equally important, this review will prepare you for the "all except ", "next best step", and multiple choice-type questions and answers that are now customary on the exams. While this Q&A review is an excellent companion to the Frontrunners syllabus, the two need not be used together. These Frontrunners "warm-up exercises" will prepare you well for the essential material that you can expect to find on your boards. In our efforts to incorporate as much of this key material as possible into your review in as succinct a manner as possible, you will find explanations to questions where explanations are due, and not simply to "just fill space". The explanations will not serve to simply reiterate the entire core of the syllabus, but rather to shed light as needed. The length of the questions has been abbreviated to allow you to maximize your content exposure in as little time as possible. This book has also been popular in helping physicians make "connections" or concept links, so that "if you see this in the question, look for this in the answer." The matching style questions are especially great for this building these links in your mind. The tighter those links in your mind, the better you'll performance will be on the exam.

HMOs are requiring that their PCPs be board-certified, or, at the very least, board-eligible to come on-board and stay on-board In fact, the terms "board-certified" and "board-eligible" are increasingly becoming an integral part of HMO contracts and renewal criteria. Being board- certified, therefore, is no longer a luxury. To some physicians, it's more than just placating the HMOs or even maintaining one's practice. It's about personal challenge; it's about being able to call oneself a "board-certified internist"; but even more simply, it's about winning! We want you to win. However you plan to use this book, our greatest hope is that we help you achieve your goals and make your life, dare we say, a little easier?

With greatest wishes for you, Bradley D Mittman, MD
