What the Best College Teachers Do. (2004). Ken Bain.
"What makes a great teacher great? The short answer is—it's not what teachers do, it's what they understand. The best teachers know their subjects inside and out—but they also know how to engage and challenge students and to provoke impassioned responses. Most of all, they believe two things fervently: that teaching matters and that students can learn."
The College Fear Factor : How Students And Professors Misunderstand One Another. (2009). Rebecca D. Cox.
"Shows how students and their instructors misunderstand and ultimately fail one another, despite good intentions. Students often enter classrooms feeling academically inadequate, with very limited definitions of 'real' instruction or 'useful' knowledge. Combine that with teachers' definitions of learning, and of what's important to know, and the result can be mutual frustration, with each side blaming the other."
