If you are undertaking higher education and are wondering if the life of a college professor is for you, this is a must read. It gives an in depth look into some of the things that many professors won't discuss with their students. A lot of us know what some of the perks of being a professor are, but this gives an in-depth look at some potential pit falls. It isn't all bad news, many chapters describe types of teaching situations, so that you can start thinking about what type of college or university you might want to teach at. It discusses a wide variety of topics such as large vs. small institutions, salaries and benefits, the job market, women and minorities in academia, funding, publishing and departmental politics. There are many more topics, and the information is given in individual articles written by a variety of professors and administrators. ( ) This collection of readings was so helpful to me, even as a graduate student. I used selections from this book when I constructed a class for teaching assistants. Topics covered include academic freedom and free speech, getting a job, the art of publishing, and discussion vs. lecture courses. Absolutely indispensable reading for the academic. Will be an invaluable reference throughout an academic career. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
