However, by utilizing the lessonslearned from the previous years experience [1] and referring to the many excellent books andpapers written on effective teaching techniques and practices including those by Gupta [2],Wankat [3], Laurillard [4], Ramsden [5], Knight [6], and Yelon [7] the task became manageable.Appointments to department and university committees were an entirely different
