Notes and News

Hello everyone,
I hope your summer has been both relaxing and productive. Since you are probably thinking about your fall classes, this month’s Teaching Central is focusing on Motivation. We have an article from Denise Webster on Student Assessment Resources and Links which should provide you with some excellent methods of learning the latest methods, a book review of Marilla D. Svinicki’s Learning and Motivation in a Postsecondary Classroom by Tanya Marcum and an article on Motivation drawn from McKeachie’s book Teaching Tips. Our link to FaCIT’s site for resources on motivation will also give you a number of helpful resources. Don’t forget to check out the Tips of the Trade this month, too.

Until next time,
Ireta
