Race, P. (2019). The Lecturer’s Toolkit: A Practical Guide to Assessment, Learning and Teaching. London: Routledge.>
It is easy to forget in the height of a pandemic that some are just beginning their career as college or university teachers. Being new to teaching and being thrown into an online environment makes this a tough start to a new career. This book will help. Practical, sensible and full of sage advice, it is aimed at “settling” a teacher into an understanding of what quality, authentic, engaging teaching and learning look like. It also deals with the thorny issues of cheating, plagiarism and the online purchase of essays from essay mills as well as managing the work-life balance. Written and published before the pandemic, the book is strongly recommended for first time colleagues new to this interesting world.
