From the Back Cover
This book provides an overview of the issues facing new chemistry faculty in preparation for teaching. Serving as a reference to answer specific questions new chemistry faculty encounter, this book is comparable to sitting down with a colleague in the department and talking through some ideas, or gaining some pointers on how to avoid common pitfalls. It is the one single place new chemistry faculty can go to find practical information on how to teach and how to prepare for teaching their first course. Chapters are written both by established experts in the field and by new professors within their first couple of years of teaching.
