| Summary, etc |
This book sounds like a valuable resource for Education Studies students who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of contemporary issues, policies, and practices in Higher Education. It's unique in its approach and structure, incorporating perspectives from experienced academics, teachers, and students.<br/>The book covers a wide range of topics, from the mental health crisis on university campuses to the role of technology in teaching and academic celebrification. It also addresses important issues around disability, diversity, and inclusive placement learning.<br/>One of the strengths of the book is the inclusion of discussion points, research tasks, and suggestions for further reading in each chapter. This not only helps students to deepen their understanding of the topics covered, but also encourages them to engage critically with the material and to pursue their own research interests.<br/>Overall, it seems like Understanding Contemporary Issues in Higher Education is a well-rounded and thought-provoking resource for Education Studies students who are interested in exploring the complexities of Higher Education today. |
