Revision encompasses a myriad of activities like editing, reediting, altering, amending, improving, modifying, reexamining, reviewing, emending, rectifying, redrafting, revising, updating, recensing, overhauling, restyling, polishing, correcting etc. to mention a few. Because revision is applicable to all disciplines, this book fills an important gap in current literature.

This book brings assessment to the easy reach of any person who is unfamiliar with the area. Assessment is far reaching and what we have in this book is but the tip of the iceberg. Nevertheless, this book would be a true companion to any teacher who is desirous of knowing more about assessment. Upon successful completion of this book, the reader would be able to explain what assessment is in layman’s terms, list common types and features of such assessments, and explain some assessment best practices. Readers can have a number of valuable take-aways that they may wish to use.

‘There is a time for everything under the sun’ is a well-known ecclesiastical saying that stands the test of time. Because human beings are first individuals before they become part of any group, there is a place for individualised teaching and learning. Indeed, human beings are individuals both at birth and death; the beginning and end of earthly life! Just as there is a place for individualised teaching and learning so there is also a place for teaching and learning en masse. Yes; there is a place for one-size-fits-one and one-size-fits-all. Drawing from over 40 years of clinical experience this book discusses the challenges and successes of twelve selected characters. Readers are taken on a roller coaster ride into their individualised lives. This book is a comprehensive how-to guide to individualised teaching and learning for success. You can’t afford to miss this one!

Professor Betty McDonald, Ph.D.

Whenever we think about professional development we often think about groups, and rarely about individuals, despite the fact that groups are made up of individuals. What we experience in a group is not only the sum of the idiosyncrasies of the individuals in the group, but a host of intermingling factors that come into play whenever a group meets. While it may be more cost effective to host professional development that caters for groups, there are numerous advantages to be derived from individualised professional development. This book therefore seeks to share some of the experiences that three of my faculty members had with individualised professional development. You’ll read of humorous stories, sad stories, happy stories, not so happy stories and many more that would leave you transfixed with wonder, amused with laughter or simply silent. Moreover, you’ll learn that one experience may be perceived in different ways by different individuals. Oftentimes, it’s all about perception and circumstances. Travel with me along this exciting journey as we explore tried-and-tested methods that you will find useful in your professional practice.

The benefits of remediation are transformative! Remediation allows you to get an edge in your planning efforts and take your progress to the next level. Remediation can promote expansion of intellectual abilities, learner attentiveness, engagement, autonomy, critical thinking and responsibility, to mention a few worthwhile qualities. This book presents very simple-to-implement remediation techniques that are intended to improve teaching and learning in a phenomenal manner. As an instructor, here’s an opportunity to turn your hard-earned efforts into a meaningful investment towards your personal professional development. Learners get to take ownership of the learning process with enhanced metacognitive awareness of their own progress. Providing food for thought and helping to internalise the ideas presented, the text is deliberately interspaced with carefully selected quotations from the public domain. Relevant shareware graphics, operating under the Creative Commons Copyright licenses serve as stimulants for further engagement and pleasure. Carrying pseudonyms for confidentiality and anonymity, stories from my own students detail their personal experiences with remediation.

This book takes the stance that purposeful reflection contributes to success in teaching and learning. It is by thinking about and questioning how and why we do what we do that reflective practice, together with deferred or ruminative reflection is possible. The process of reflection requires training and practice. Hence, this easy-to-digest book presents a number of practical, tried-and-tested strategies to help you. This book presents a structured method for examining your teaching and learning practices with a view to personal improvement. After reading this book you would no longer view reflection as another unnecessary obligation or burden, but as a useful practice that occurs simultaneously with your other parts of teaching and learning. Quotations by well known persons in the public domain serve to anchor your thoughts in preparation for the contents of the corresponding section. Shareware graphics interspaced in the text not only break possible monotony but serves to engage and stimulate your thought and in many instances bring you comic relief.

Mentoring is as universal as any other meaningful trusted relationship. Mentoring is needed in just about every discipline: education, health, medicine, aviation, engineering, actuarial science, performing arts, to mention a few. In any good mentoring relationship there are development opportunities for both mentee and mentor. This book assumes that the mentoring relationship is understood and accepted by both parties in a formal or informal manner. After defining mentoring in Chapter 1 we provide the theoretical framework necessary for understanding key issues involved in mentoring in Chapter 2. The last chapter presents a number of tried-and-tested strategies for mentoring. A relevant quotation from the public domain appearing at the beginning of each section is meant to provide food for thought and better facilitate internalising the innovative ideas presented in that particular book section. Relevant shareware graphics, operating under the Creative Commons Copyright licenses serve as stimulants for further engagement. Carrying pseudonyms for confidentiality and anonymity, stories from the author’s own students detail their personal experiences with mentoring.

This disabling condition can manifest itself in ways like profuse sweating, nervousness, intense fear, frustration, helplessness, emotional blocks, bizarre behavior, negative attitudes, cyclical avoidance, working memory blocks, lack of motivation, depression, low self esteem, reduced self efficacy, inappropriate assumptions, lack of achievement, learning difficulties, erroneous beliefs, pessimism, doubt, distrust, and withdrawal resulting in failure to achieve. This book exposes some possible causes of mathematics anxiety and offers tried-and-tested, hands-on, practical ways to manage it. Providing food for thought are specially selected quotations from the public domain. Shareware graphics that are meant to serve as stimulants for engagement and pleasure punctuate the text. Stories from selected individuals carrying pseudonyms for confidentiality and anonymity detail their personal experiences with mathematics anxiety and how they were able to conquer their fears.
