Review:

“Pleased to find a textbook that addresses issues of the - often neglected - topics of communication and relationships in lecturing work, in addition to planning and designing the curriculum, and evaluating practice. Valuable for both new and experienced lecturers in higher education.” ―Jeannie Daniels, Senior Lecturer, University of West Scotland, UK
