Duffield, Gregory R WegnerNew Brunswick, NJ :Rutgers University Press,[2018]©20181 online resource0-8135-9502-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter --Contents --Preface: An Exercise in Sensemaking --References --IndexReaders of Making Sense of the College Curriculum expecting a traditional academic publication full of numeric and related data will likely be disappointed with this volume, which is based on stories rather than numbers. The contributors include over 185 faculty members from eleven colleges and universities, representing all sectors of higher education, who share personal, humorous, powerful, and poignant stories about their experiences in a life that is more a calling than a profession. Collectively, these accounts help to answer the question of why developing a coherent undergraduate curriculum is so vexing to colleges and universities. Their stories also belie the public's and policymakers' belief that faculty members care more about their scholarship and research than their students and work far less than most people.Education, HigherCurriculaUnited StatesEducation, HigherAims and objectivesUnited StatesCollege teachingUnited Statescurriculum.education.faculty.higher education.policy.public policy.students.undergraduate.Education, HigherCurriculaEducation, HigherAims and objectivesCollege teaching378.1/990973Zemsky Robertauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1478998Duffield Ann J.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.Wegner Gregory Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910811322403321Making Sense of the College Curriculum4019013UNINA
