Everything matters when it comes to teaching and learning. Most of these influences are outside the college instructor's control. Other issues, however are controllable. This book examines the many choices professors make about their teaching, beginning with their initial planning of the course and its basic content through to the final decisions about grades and assessing effectiveness.
