"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)

"Gurung and Schwartz have written a book for all teacher/researchers who would like to get involved (or more involved) in the scholarship of teaching and learning. This book will be an invaluable resource for those faculty who do not know how to get started in SOTL or those who want to move from being “sincere teachers” or “scholarly teachers” and become involved in SOTL research. For faculty who are already involved in SOTL research, the book provides a wealth of research strategies that can provide new research avenues. I can’t wait to have this book on my shelf!" Randolph A. Smith, Lamar University

“This is a hugely engaging volume which deals with both pedagogical research and findings from the pedagogical research literature. It is highly accessible and the commitment of the authors, expressed in their dedication, to those who ‘care about teaching and student learning’ shines through. The authors present the positive case for university teachers becoming active researchers of their own practice, and they provide a starter kit for getting going. The best tribute to such a volume is that it will be used and that teacher-researchers will in turn develop their own more nuanced and critical instruments and research questions.” Sue Clegg, Leeds Metropolitan University
