‘ One of the things that’s surprised me about Don’t Make Me Think is how often it’s being used in courses, ranging from high school to grad school.
It makes me glad that it’s a short book, given my many not-fond memories of slogging through big boring books in college.
I love teaching, but I’ve never had to plan anything longer than a workshop, and the thought of creating an entire course scares the heck out of me. So I’m glad my publisher finally convinced me to write an Instructor’s Guide for Don’t Make Me Think to make life a tiny bit easier for teachers.
It’s filled with discussion topics for use in class, homework assignments, group projects, and even quiz questions.
The Instructor’s Guide is free for teachers, and you can read the introduction here.
To download the entire Guide:
- Go to the publisher’s Educator Resources page.
- Scroll down to the Instructor Resources section and click the Download Instructor’s Manual link.
- Click Request Access to sign up as an educator.
- Accept the Terms of Use, then fill out the Educator Access form, which will ask you to identify your school. You’ll need an email address that indicates you’re affiliated with the school. (If for some reason you don’t have a school email address, send me email directly explaining your situation, and I’ll try to get you a copy.)
- When you’re done, you can download a PDF of the Guide.
If you have any feedback on the Instructor’s Guide, feel free to leave comments below.
P.S. Once you have an Educator Access, you can also use it to request a preview copy of the book.
