Reviews for Optimizing Teaching and Learning: Practicing Pedagogical Research

""There were several pieces of information that were valuable, even to someone with a different education background. No doubt there is even more valuable information for readers who are not in such a specific specialty as nursing, but instead are education generalists."" (Metapsychology, March 2010) ""Overall, this book provides a great deal of information regarding teaching and learning practices, a pedagogical approach, and a touch of the application of research.... Helpful pearls of wisdom within."" (Metapsychology Online Reviews)
