'Lecturing in higher education' was written after several years of research in the UK, USA and Australia. It offers some fascinating insights into the world of lecturers (and students) in higher education's universities and colleges.
The book reveals two different types of lecturers, the problems they face and how they deal those problems. It should appeal equally to lecturers, education leaders and administrators, as well as to university and college students (prospective, fresher and advanced). After all, it might be important for students and lecturers to know exactly who they are dealing with as student grades and lecturer jobs may depend on this.
What’s in this book? Topics presented and discussed in this book include (the list is not exhaustive): * The three problems of higher student absolution, managerial inculcation and academic ablation * The two types of the pragmatic lecturer and the enduring lecturer * Different lecturer coping strategies to deal with the three problems of higher education
'Lecturing in higher education' is a companion to two of the author’s other 'Thinking about managerialism' and 'Thinking about the student as customer'. These too are available from your Amazon/Kindle store.
