My Freshman Year: What a Professor Learned by Becoming a Student
After nearly two decades as a university professor, the author (writing under a pseudonym) realized she was out of touch with her students. She didn't understand them. They openly took naps in class, brought in food and drink, and behaved as though their education was of no importance to them. Looking for a way to close the gap between her and her students, Nathan enrolled in her own university as a freshman. Over the year, she found that the students weren't the problem; the institution of learning was. This book offers insightful exploration of contemporary higher education. REUPLOAD NEEDED
