I’m currently participating in a course about university pedagogy.
Therefore, I also spent some time in the university library and see what interesting books were available in relation to teaching.

I found two highly useful and inspiring books:

🕮The art of lecturing : a practical guide to successful university lectures and business presentations written by Parham Aarabi
The interesting thing about that book is that Aarabi is an electrical engineer who describes his endeavor to become a lecturer. I enjoyed reading it, as he starts with information theory dating back to Claude E. Shannon and discusses the channel capacity of a lecture. That is an unconventional and highly technical perspective. But he got the point and made me smile at the same time. Furthermore, there are several anecdotes that make the book very personal.

🕮Teaching large classes: Tools and strategies written by Elisa Carbone. It was written in relation to a research project at the University of Maryland. It compiles the perspective of multiple teachers in different disciplines into one story. The book was written in 1998 and is outdated when it comes to the latest technology. (At that time, students were still reminded to check their e-mails regularly, and downloading images over the internet took an eternity.) But the general ideas can still be useful today. And the book has only 100 pages, which makes it fast to read.
