Scholarship Evaluated

This arrived on time and in good condition. It is a classic in the academic world, and now I can share it with my faculty.

Scholarship Reconsidered-A mandate for new scholars

This text offered insights for anyone, currently involved in, or considering the academic profession. The authors do a wonderful job in decribing the current expectations of academia at the period this text was constructed. Unfortunately, the book does paint the picture many would expect. It is unfortunate that higher education may have strayed from the teaching mission whether intentionally or indirectly but the authors offer alternatives as to how to approach the situation and that it may not be as polarized as it may appear. It would be insightful to see this study updated to reflect the current situation. SD-(Kentucky)

Easy, Effective Read

Boyer gives concrete advice for anyone that wishes to enter the world of academia or who is already in the academy that wants to refocus their efforts for maximum results. The book is easy to read and gives great food for thought.
