A very valuable guide to leading seminars, which will be of practical use to both new and seasoned instructors. The book provides helpful information and suggestions for conducting effective seminars. - Kristen Williams, Clark University, USA The authors have a most engaging way of communicating with their readers. The text is easy to read, has a sequential flow and sustains the reader's interest and attention throughout. The discussions on the place of technology within classrooms provide a balanced, thoughtful, and practical response to questions that are often raised by educators within the contemporary tertiary environment. - Margaret Walshaw, Massey University, New Zealand
