Supervising and Mentoring Students

Supervising the doctorate: a guide to success Sara Delamont, Paul Atkinson, and Odette Parry |
In our work with faculty across all disciplines, we also find that many struggle to think about teaching in ways in which they can incorporate technology meaningfully. While we might be experts in our discipline (chemistry, philosophy, music, etc) due to the curriculum of terminal degrees, we might not have strong preparation in instructional design. We have been fortunate to bring together faculty experts across different disciplines to specifically speak about how and why to use digital media in higher education settings. We realize we are asking you to think about your way of teaching with new ideas and strategies. Therefore, we try to illustrate them with clear examples. These different approaches include clear descriptions of what these activities look like, why to develop and implement them, and how to do so for your specific needs. |

From entitlement to engagement: affirming Millennial students' egos in the higher education classroom Dave S. Knowlton, Kevin Jack Hagopian, editors |
This volume addresses theories and practices surrounding the entitled, self-absorbed students called Millennials. Stereotypical Millennials are often addicted to gadgets, demand service more than education, and hold narrow perspectives about themselves and those around them; when seen through this lens, Millennial students can understandably frustrate the most dedicated of professors. Contributors focus on practical means to achieve new and more evocative outcomes by treating Millennial students as serious collaborators in the learning process, thereby helping those students to more closely identify with their own education. The assignments that professors give, the treatment of topics that they broach, and the digital tools that they ask students to employ can shift students' concerns away from a narrow focus on impersonal, technical mastery of content and toward seeing themselves as Millennial thinkers who fuse their lives with their learning. |

Teachers at all levels of education are expected to foster productive thought, although this is not as effective as it might be when they ignore emotion and moods and their effect on learning. Combining the most up to date theory with practical advice, this key textbook delves into the question of the interaction of emotion, moods and thought, and its implications for learning, to show how you might manage that interaction to improve your own teaching. Building on a comprehensive framework of productive thought, Douglas P. Newton explores the interrelationships between each of its constituent elements - reasoning, understanding, critical thinking, creativity and wise decision making - and the emotions. |
