Craft of Teaching

KENNETH E. EBLE was professor of English and University professor at the University of Utah until his death in 1988. He was the author of numerous other books, including The Art of Administration (1978) and The Aims of College Teaching (1983).

``An immensely valuable book for young college teachers.. and it has much to say to teachers of all levels and ages.'' ``Eble's book dispenses wisdom in the form of practical advice to both beginning and seasoned professors. He believes that people can learn to be better teachers through the examination and `unbundling' of the craft itself.'' (Change)
