Reviews

I found Successful University Teaching in Times of Diversity enormously helpful. Written by proven experts in the field of university teaching and learning, it is easy to read, sensible, and to the point, with each chapter flowing logically into the next. Especially helpful from my point of view was the insight into common problems and mistakes, the insightful explanations of how students learn, and the stress given to the vital importance of having your student's abilities uppermost in your mind at every stage: from course preparation to class discussions and essay feedback. An excellent book.

This book presents a truly inspirational approach to teaching and learning. It should be recommended reading for new and experienced teachers alike, along with those charged with providing development opportunities that promote and support teaching excellence.
