Being A Teacher In Higher Education (SRHE and Open University Press Imprint)

"Wether you are new to teaching or an old hand, here is a book that may comfort or discomfort you. Peter Wright, a prolific writer on matters educational, has drawn together much of the recent research on being a teacher in higher education. His empathy with teachers and his practical advise may comfort you. His global grasp of problems in teaching and his numerous lists, boxes and tables may discomfort you. You will recognize and probably agree with what Knight guardedly says about using IT, assessment techniques and many other 'methods'. You will find it hard to disagree with his summaries of other people research, but you may be irritated by his personal slant or his superficial treatment of a particular topic. Here is a recipe book written with feeling. Shall I recommend it to my marine scientist daughter who may move from research into teaching? Hmm...perhaps." - David HawkridgePeter Knight is the author of 'Being A Teacher In Higher Education (SRHE and Open University Press Imprint)' with ISBN 9780335209309 and ISBN 0335209300.
