Review
'This book is readable, well
researched, timely, thought-provoking and practical ... The book would
certainly serve the purpose of raising key policy, curriculum and
pedagogic debates in any department or institution. It would be
particularly useful in staff development and enhancement courses such
as PG CERT HE and other courses developed for new university tutors.' -

strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for an imaginative way
forward for their university's and their own management of teaching and

creating and designing productive links between research and teaching
with suggestions and illustrations as to how to do this.' -

'With
a wealth of suggested strategies and an abundance of supporting
examples, this book is a useful road map for any individual,
department, or institution wanting to enhance the relationship between
teaching and research and its impact on student learning. The review of
the research, which challenges commonly accepted myths and demonstrates
the need for further research, is probably the most enlightening part
of the book.' -
Elizabeth Normandy, University of North Carolina at Pembroke
'This
is a timely book ... There is a strong theoretical base and many ideas
in this book, all of which are accessible and not embedded in a morass
of jargon. There is a reassuring level of scholarship underpinning the
material.' -
