Teaching can be intimidating for beginning faculty. Some graduate schools and some computing faculty provide guidance and mentoring, but many do not. Often, a new faculty member is assigned to teach a course, with little guidance, input, or feedback.

The book serves as a practical, easy-to-use resource, covering a wide range of topics in a collection of focused down-to-earth chapters.
