Features: This book is written by a veteran teacher who has been teaching in higher education institutions for 43 years, for young faculty currently engaged in teaching work in universities. The topic discussed is how a young university teacher can excel in teaching, specifically, how to teach a course well or even how to deliver an excellent lecture. Based on the author's own teaching experience, supplemented by a touch of educational theory, the book is divided into four parts: Philosophy, Operation, Exploration, and Advanced Experience. The Philosophy section presents a general understanding of several fundamental issues in university teaching, reflecting the author's insights gained from studying teaching theory. The Operation section is the core of the book, written based on the author's teaching experience, with the hope that it will be directly useful to young faculty. The Exploration section reviews and discusses some emerging teaching methods in university teaching in recent years. The Advanced Experience section includes selected teaching experience articles written by renowned teachers in China, including winners of the Ministry of Education's University Teaching Master Award, aiming to provide young faculty with a higher-level understanding of teaching. Most of the fundamental views on education and teaching, specific operations, and case studies in this book come from the practice of science and engineering education. The issues discussed are mostly common in university teaching, with the aim of minimizing inherent limitations.
