Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The new edition of this bestselling book builds on the author's extensive administrative and consulting experience as well as scholarship on faculty rewards. It includes additional discussion of important foundational issues as well as practical forms and ideas gleaned from disciplinary groups and campuses throughout the nation. Like the first edition of Peer Review of Teaching, this new edition is offered in the hope that providing examples and suggestions will not reduce the important work of peer review to mere forms or rigid procedures, but will empower faculty to articulate criteria and standards, perform the reviews systematically and thoughtfully, and realize that engaging in peer review is an approachable and worthwhile professional task. Updated to reflect the emphasis on student learning as the ultimate goal of college teaching, it incorporates new ideas and references from the literature. The most notable change in this edition is a discussion of peer review within special contexts for teaching, such as clinics, studios, and practice settings. The turn to active engagement in learning has also led to increased use of problem-based learning, the case study method, and other approaches that traditional forms for peer review do not address. Similarly, the explosion of the use of instructional technology calls for an articulation of new approaches to evaluating web-based instruction.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book is an attempt to reclaim the knowledge of God as just that - knowledge.It is no secret that theology is no longer considered a necessary subject in the modern university. Why is it assumed that the kind of knowledge theology represents is in some fashion deficient when compared to other subjects Hauerwas argues that theology is often excluded from the knowledges of the modern university because those knowledges are constituted by an understanding of time necessary to make economic and state realities seem inevitable. Yet it is precisely this difference that makes Christian theology, while being governed by a different understanding of time than that characteristic of the other disciplines of the university, an essential resource for the university to achieve its task - that is, to form people who are able to imagine a different world through critical and disciplined reflection.Hauerwas subsequently challenges the domesticated character of much recent theology by suggesting how prayer and the love of the poor are essential practices that should shape the theological task. Hauerwas makes this case by conversing with figures as diverse as Luigi Giussani, David Burrell, Stanley Fish, Wendell Berry, Jeff Stout, Rowan Williams and Sheldon Wolin.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many Chemical phenomena cannot be explained by classical physics and need quantum mechanics for a full understanding. However these calculations are complicated and their results are not always easily translated into chemical language. For most practical purposes chemists need simple 'Chemically transparent' methods which allow them to make qualitative general predictions. Frontier Orbitals introduces the most valuable of these methods, the frontier orbital approximation, and shows how it can be used for treating structural and reactivity problems in organic chemistry.Frontier Orbitals is a practical manual intended for tutorial classes or self-studies. Applications are classified by chemical criteria: competition between reagents (relative reactivity, including chemoselectivity), sites (regioselectivity) or reaction trajectories (stereoselectivity). The steps involved in solving each problem such as the choice of model, and calculation of molecular orbitals, and the interpretation of results, are explained. Numerous exercises are found throughout the text, and the full solutions and references are given in each case. An extensive listing of MOs is also given to allow those without access to a computer to work out the exercises, Practical advice is given for those wishing to do their own calculations.Frontier Orbital's is aimed at experimentalists who are w2ell versed in organic chemistry but have little or no understanding of quantum mechanics. A greater emphasis is put on chemistry than on quantum mechanics, and he intelligent use of the rules rather than their mathematical derivation. Written by one of the pioneers of the field, Frontier Orbital's is an essential practical guide to the successes and limitation s of this theory.
