Seasoned instructors will also find much in this book that will be valuable to them, because the advice offered by Goss Lucas, the selection of topics, and her concrete suggestions are all deeply informed by classroom experience—she knows what works and what does not. ”\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eRobert W.
