What Are We Teaching Them? - Clark, Anthony

. .

Résumé :
As the lone conservative in his university's social science department, Dr Anthony Clark views things somewhat differently to his colleagues. Whilst they obsess over 'social justice' and 'diversity' figures, Clark navigates his way through the madness of university bureaucracy, and the obsession with 'student satisfaction' in a world where the ?9000 per year cheque is King, and prospective students are offered places regardless of aptitude or ability. Between documenting the decline of the British university, and deconstructing the 'social justice' madness that plagues modern campuses, Dr Clark laments the death of standards at his institution and others, and what this means for the value of social science degrees today. All this is done through a series of anecdotes taken from Dr Clark's time lecturing, which range from the humorous, to the infuriating, to the downright absurd. Join Anthony as he guides you through the realities of 'higher education' in modern Britain, and asks the reader to consider: What Are We Teaching Them?...
