Reading this book is like enjoying an exotic buffet. It is exotic to hear unfamiliar teaching voices from familiar researchers. The variety of voices is both quantatively and qualitatively satisfying to 'hungry' researchers who plan to start their teaching careers soon. --Dora Lau, Doctoral Student, Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, University of British Columbia "A must-read for anyone embarking upon a career in academia Researchers Hooked on Teaching provides valuable insights into the trials and tribulations of teaching at the college level." --Jennifer Cliff, Doctoral Student, University of British Columbia Offering support, guidance, and advice for those contemplating or already involved in academic careers, Rhythms of Academic Life is a comprehensive manual that surveys important topics relevant to the world of academia, such as publishing, research, teaching, pedagogy, teamwork, sabbaticals, and tenure.
