Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Craft of Teaching
Kenneth Eugene Eble · 1976
80/100
👍 Worth It
A genuinely excellent guide to college-level teaching that earns its reputation as one of the best books ever written on the subject — readable, practical, and grounded in real classroom experience. Its 1970s–80s context shows a little, and it will not help K-12 or online instructors, but for anyone stepping into a university classroom it remains essential reading decades later.
