A friend of mine is preparing to teach his first university course, calculus for non-math majors. He has given single lectures and many seminars before on other more advanced topics, but this is the first time he will be carrying a whole course, on calculus, and with an audience of this size. He's a quiet guy, works really hard, takes this commitment very seriously, wants to continue in academia, and obviously wants to do a good job! Any tips, suggestions, warnings, recommendations, revelations, wake-up calls, etc. would be very much appreciated! Thanks. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.78479 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:25:09 -0800 teaching university college lecturer instructor calculus math maths mathematics tips onoclea
