Teaching at Its Best is a top-selling handbook loaded with practical teaching techniques, formats, classroom activities, and exercises and covers topics relevant to today's classroom such as technology and the Internet, simulations and games, diversity, service learning, and faculty evaluation systems.

This Second Edition retains the proven, practical information from the first edition but incorporates additional sections on course portfolios, teaching with laptops, teaching problem solving, and incentives for students to complete their readings. The author also presents information on adult learning, the learning-centered syllabus, and the cognitive profile learning styles model. Chapters are also devoted to classroom management, incivility, academic honesty, and grading.
