Description: Summary Of The Book: What mistakes do young faculty invariably make and how can these mistakes be avoided? What kinds of texts and assignments work best for specific courses in applied ethics, ethical theory, philosophy of religion, existentialism, aesthetics, and continental philosophy? What are the best ways to help students develop critical thinking skills? Well-known philosophers address these issues and more in In the Socratic Tradition. Included are discussions of criteria for curriculum development, text selection, evaluating student writing, helping students to improve reading comprehension, and enhancing student participation. This is essential reading for graduate students, new faculty, and all who care about student learning.
