Could be a good resource, but a bit BORING
15 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback
I've read through this book a number of times and picked up some interesting ideas for the classroom, but nothing that blows me away. Many of the exercises are rehashes of ones I read earlier in the book and that was a bit disappointing. I plan on reading through a number of these lesson plans again, but trust me its not very exciting.

Not helpful for a new teacher
7 May 2006
Format:Paperback
Although many lessons are given, not many examples are shown. It assumes that one knows a lot about teaching the subject and has had similar lessons in the past. Good for experienced teachers, not so good for those new to the subject. I would recommend Resnick's "Design for Communication" instead.

Glad this book exists
4 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Am I glad there is a book like this out here in the graphic design world. I'm teaching advanced Graphic Design for the first time and to be honest, I only had a slight idea on how to get started. The sample syllabus at first seems a little thin, but then you realize that its sole purpose was to present how other teachers approach courses in a linear, step-by-step manner. They not only serve as guidelines around how you can build your sessions during the semester but also inspire and clarify what you have in your own mind for the class. This book is tremendously helpful to me and now I'm going into this course with confidence, and know that I'm approaching my first teaching job the RIGHT way.
