Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning
The Derek Bok Center for Teaching & Learning (DBCTL) was established in 1975 to enhance the quality of undergraduate education in Harvard College. Originally named the Harvard–Danforth Center, it was renamed in 1991 to honor former Harvard President Derek Bok, an active supporter of the Center both during his presidency and today. The Bok Center attempts to serve the national and international higher education community by offering online documents and by publishing books and DVDs on the art of teaching.
 | The third edition of Teaching American Students explains the expectations of undergraduates at American colleges and universities and offers practical strategies for teaching, including how to give clear presentations, how to teach interactively, and how to communicate effectively. Also included are illustrative examples as well as advice from international faculty and teaching assistants. Appendices offer suggestions on topics from planning the first day of class to grading papers and problem sets. | |
