Reviews

'Overall, this is an enjoyable book written in a lucid style with clear guidelines, supported by case studies ... Put forward as fresh thought on the processes and contexts of higher education teaching, the book provides practical guidance on professional and ethical aspects of university teaching and is a reminder to senior university management of the intrinsically valuable and difficult task of teaching in a mass higher education context.' - William Scarff, University of Wolverhampton Business School, UKReviewed in the Times Higher Education Supplement 'Ethics means a degree of trust' - '[Bruce Macfarlane] argues that in order for learners to think critically and challenge conventional wisdom, the lecturer's first ethical consideration must be to protect and foster student academic freedom.'
