I'm the Teacher, You're the Student: A Semester in the University Classroom - Paperback

by Patrick Allitt (Author)

In this trenchant and often hilarious guide, Patrick Allitt takes the reader along to his course in American history, offering a teacher's-eye view of the undergraduate classroom. The book offers background and guidance to those concerned with the state of higher education today, from educators to general readers, from young faculty facing the classroom for the first time to parents whose children are heading off to college. "Charming, and compelling." --Wall Street Journal
