520    Everyone in academia knows it and no one likes to admit it
       : faculty often have to teach courses in areas they don't 
       know very well. The challenges are even greater when  
       students don't share your cultural background, lifestyle, 
       or assumptions about how to behave in a classroom. In this
       practical and funny book, an experienced teaching 
       consultant offers many creative strategies for dealing 
       with typical problems. --from publisher description
