Here is what people are saying about the What the Best College Teachers Do

4 Star Rating  "This is NOT a how-to guide"2009-06-01
- Reviewed By User: A1CY6SAAEDWXRU
Ken Bain is quite emphatic when he explains in his introduction that this is not a how-to guide to becoming a better college/university instructor. This book is the result of an extensive research project on college teaching and the teachers who were part of this study have many years of experience under their belt. To me, that part of Bain's point: while there may be naturally gifted teachers out there, in reality teaching is a learned art. The professors in the study have made and continue to make mistakes but they have found their way to be excellent in what they do through years of experience and experimentation. You're not going to become a super professor after reading a book or even ten books. One of the reviewers of this book mentions that most professors do not have the kind of flexibility that the professors in the book seemed to have, and while this may be true, I think the reviewer misses the point of the book. Again, this book is not for everyone and everyone's teaching situation is very different. I personally found this book to be interesting and inspiring and perhaps the greatest "comfort" I got from it is that great teachers are not necessarily born, they work towards greatness and it takes many years for them to hone their craft. Again, this is not a how-to book so don't expect to be given 10 steps to become a better teacher. But it does, nonetheless, have great ideas that you CAN adapt to whatever situation you are in if you really want to make changes.

- Reviewed By User: A2RQ6169KG5PIU
I listened to Ken speak, he did a great job. The book is similar in style and approach (d'oh). VERY helpful for graduate level instructors at all collegiate levels. For instance, creating an "expectation failure" even among budding scientists in order to challenge their underlying assumptions is not so easy. Thomas Kuhn's book (The Structure of Scientific Revolutions) sets up the problem, Bain addresses how to do it. Very nice book.
 
5 Star Rating  "A Great Book"2009-04-24
- Reviewed By spurriek
I really enjoyed reading this book. Ken Bain has studied a large number of teachers who have been identified as the "best teachers." He has woven this material together with research about learning to create a book that is very thought-provoking. He emphasizes the need for deep learning instead of surface learning and gives many examples from the studied teachers about how this may be accomplished. This is not an instruction book on how to teach but rather a collection of motivating examples. I highly recommend this book.
 
5 Star Rating  "excellent book"2009-04-06
- Reviewed By User: A3VOIVFHZHJQ2Q
The author did a lot of investigation on teaching of college teachers and this book would change your viewpoint of what a good teacher should be look like. It made me reflect on my teaching and make some improvement on my teaching.
 
3 Star Rating  "Good Book; A little repetitive"2009-02-21
- Reviewed By User: A3MUN085OW4ZST
Ken Bain presents important information about how to offer an educational experience that inspires, creates a community of learners, and promotes deep, rather than "bulemic" learning.

The book is a light read - easy, fast, understandable- I'm reading it as the text book for a teaching course.

But after several chapters, I found myself skimming more. "I think I get the point" is going through my mind.

I can think of a lot of instructors who "should" read this, but whose lack of insight might make the techniques inaccessible.

I recommend it.
