“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.”
“If every college teacher read [Bain’s] first book and every student read his new one, we’d have taken a huge step toward solving some of the great challenges for higher education.”
“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.”
“Rigorously grounded in empirical studies, rich with illuminating examples, and engagingly written, Cheating Lessons promises to be an eye-opening and immensely useful book for post-secondary educators.”
