The Essential College Professor is about the "how" and "why"
of being a faculty member today. Based on the author's series of
highly successful faculty development workshops, each chapter deals
concisely with the most important information college professors
need at their fingertips when confronted by a particular challenge
or faced with an exciting opportunity. Written both as a
comprehensive guide to an academic career and as a ready reference
to be consulted whenever needed, The Essential College Professor
emphasizes proven solutions over untested theories and stresses
what faculty members have to know now in order to be successful in
their careers.
Each chapter is concluded by a short exercise that faculty members can perform to help them, for instance, completely revise a course by restructuring the syllabus and course materials, bring new life to a research project by reframing it as a book proposal or grant application, and so on.
