All new faculty are encouraged to read Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning (see "Recommended Reading" below), which presents proven approaches to teaching and provides a shared vocabulary for Cornell faculty involved in team taught courses. This title can be found both in print in the library and digitally.
