Professors Talk Pedagogy presents discussions with great professors about pedagogy, curriculum, and learning in order to propel the "virtuous cycle" of teaching. As we frankly and critically investigate our teaching, we open new lines of inquiry, we engage in conversation with colleagues, and we attune to students' experiences - all of which improves our teaching and motivates ongoing investigation.
Our Guides include topics such as Preparing to Teach, Considering Students, Teaching Techniques, Assessing Student Learning and Teaching, and Teaching with Technology.

Puzzled by your students’ seeming indifference, you may vacillate between blaming them and wondering what you’re doing wrong. But students’ not completing the course reading isn’t necessarily a personal attack on your teaching or your choice of texts. In fact, many of the reasons that students don’t read have to do with environmental and personal factors, not the instructor.
