Product Description
Research assessment exercises, teaching quality assessment, line management, student course evaluation, modularization, student fees these are all names of innovations in modern British universities. How far do they constitute a significant departure from traditional academic concerns? Using some themes of J.H. Newman s classic The Idea of a University as a springboard, this book aims to address these questions.
