Product Description
by Bill Moseley (Author)
Most professors don't set out to be bad, but ultimately we all end up somewhere on the spectrum between "great" and "terrible".
In You're a Terrible Professor (and Sometimes, So Am I), veteran educator Bill Moseley takes an unflinching, often uncomfortable look at the everyday practices that quietly undermine student learning. Drawing on nearly three decades of teaching, administration, and faculty development, Moseley argues that bad teaching isn't a personal failure-it's a predictable outcome of systems that never taught professors how to teach in the first place.
With equal parts humility, research, and sharp-edged honesty, this book dissects common professorial habits around pedagogy, communication, preparation, and relationships. It blends real student experiences, learning theory, and practical strategies to help professors see the unintended consequences of their choices-and do something about them.
This isn't a rant. It's a mirror. If you care about your students, your craft, and the future of higher education, this book will challenge you, irritate you, and ultimately make you better.
