Lively and humorous, yet serious and sensible, this booklet is a practical guide to the teaching of mathematics. Eschewing generalities, Krantz emphasizes specifics - from how to deal with students who beg for extra points on an exam to mastering blackboard technique to how to use applications effectively. In addition, the book also deals with such sensitive subject as cheating, bribery, and sexual harassment. Those teaching collegiate mathematics for the first time will find Krantz's advice especially helpful, and more experienced instructors will appreciate the book's elucidation of the tine points of excellent teaching.
