Effective College and University Teaching
"This is a very exciting project...[a]part from being helmed by two exemplary teachers, there is a strong line-up of authors. This will be the most up-to-date book of its kind as it takes the perspective of educating GTA supervisors and is not just a ′tips′ book." Regan A. R.
