"You can't effectively teach anything to students who are asleep." In a breezy, yet highly practical, book on engaging today's college students, first-time author -- but long-time lecturer -- Mike Kowis does an outstanding job of showing the "right" way to keep student attention high while imparting important knowledge about a potentially dry subject such as business law -- his specialty. Mike Kowis has written a five-star, articulate guide to what instructors need to do -- and not do -- to gain respect and admiration from their students. It's a truly inspiring and yet practical guide for both new teachers and those who have been in front of students on a daily basis for years."
"Engaging College Students: A Fun and Edgy Guide For Professors should be required reading for anyone who wants to step into a classroom and teach college students. It is especially useful to the new teacher and can help him/her develop a style that students will appreciate for years. It is clearly written and very well organized and I was very happy to find a book that I can put into immediate practical use."
