The author of the best-selling book What the Best College Teachers Do is back with more humane, doable, and inspiring help, this time for students who want to get the most out of college--and every other educational enterprise, too. The first thing they should do? Think beyond the transcript. The creative, successful people profiled in this book--college graduates who went on to change the world we live in--aimed higher than straight A's. They used their four years to cultivate habits of thought that would enable them to grow and adapt throughout their lives. Combining academic research on learning and motivation with insights drawn from interviews with people who have won Nobel Prizes, Emmys, fame, or the admiration of people in their field, Ken Bain identifies the key attitudes that distinguished the best college students from their peers. These individuals started out with the belief that intelligence and ability are expandable, not fixed. This led them to make connections across disciplines, to develop a "meta-cognitive" understanding of their own ways of thinking, and to find ways to negotiate ill-structured problems rather than simply looking for right answers. Intrinsically motivated by their own sense of purpose, they were not demoralized by failure nor overly impressed with conventional notions of success. These movers and shakers didn't achieve success by making success their goal. For them, it was a byproduct of following their intellectual curiosity, solving useful problems, and taking risks in order to learn and grow.

教书两年，或是大班上课或是单独教导，在学生身上花了不少时间。结合教书两年来的自己的做法、体会再读此书，写点心得，和大家共勉。 1. 老师首先要对其授课内容有深入的了解（当然这是前提），更重要的是要懂得如何简化和解释复杂的学科，如何以令人振奋的洞察力切中事物的本...  

直到1998年我自己走上讲台之前（那年我在所成人计算机学校任教），教师对我来说一直是个充满着权威和恐怖的职业。原因有两个，我父母都是教师，一个教体育，一个教语文，在这两方面他们都没给我留下什么好印象（我体育也不好，语文也不好，当然这只能怪自己了）；另一方面是小...  

要做成功的教师是有道可循的。这里，需要教师在教学过程中反复琢磨，把教学“看成是一种严肃的智力行为、一种学术成就、一种创造”，并从挫折和失误中吸取教训，不断锤炼与提升。 　　一个多月前，我在一所高校进行了一次题为《我心目中的好老师》的讲座。起这样一个题目说...

gets boring. v old book. writing style is meh. but was available at library. |把我的rating 从三星该五星的原因是放下这本书之后竟然还会想起来再打开度—这说明这本书的content是我需要的. 但是examples discussed were somewhat remote and lack character dev 但i guess 作者也不是写小说的就情有可原了. 为什么五星而不是四星呢？是因为content is that good.

My college kid should be reading this, not me.
