As a recently appointed adjunct faculty member, I'll consider any teaching tips or tricks I can find. Naturally, I eagerly picked up the Journal of Excellence in College Teaching, hoping to learn how to become a more effective instructor. Does it help?

First, a brief background on the Journal is in order. Founded in 1990, the Journal answers Ernest Boyer's call for a "forum to present the scholarship of teaching and learning." Its three-part mission is to increase student learning through effective teaching; to foster interest in and enthusiasm for the profession of teaching; and to facilitate communication among faculty about their classroom experiences. In short, the Journal aims to provide faculty an "opportunity to share proven, innovative pedagogies and thoughtful, inspirational insights about teaching."
