Thank you for writing what I now consider one of the best books I have ever read. ‘What the Best College Students Do’ absolutely revolutionized how I approach learning and my capability for increasing my intelligence.

— Thomas H. Luxon, Director, Center for the Advancement of Learning, Dartmouth College
Lang’s [Small Teaching] offers what so many faculty members want and need: small-scale changes that can enhance their teaching and their students’ learning—not just ‘someday’ but Monday.
