Bruce Macfarlane

    Dieser Autor, ein pensionierter Strahlenschutzphysiker, der an der englischen Küste lebt, bringt eine einzigartige Mischung aus wissenschaftlichem Hintergrund und einer Leidenschaft für frühe Science-Fiction, insbesondere für Zeitreise-Erzählungen, mit. Seine Romane erkunden die Abenteuer eines modernen Mannes und einer viktorianischen Dame und verweben Elemente, die als eine Mischung aus Tom Holts Witz, P.G. Wodehouses Charme, Philip K. Dicks spekulativer Natur und den seltsamen Phänomenen der Fortean Times beschrieben werden. Durch seinen unverwechselbaren Stil untersucht er die Schnittstellen verschiedener Epochen und die unerwarteten Begegnungen, die daraus entstehen. Seine Arbeit bietet den Lesern eine reizvolle Reise voller fantasievoller Szenarien und fesselnder Charaktere.

      This is a book about the ethics of teaching in the context of higher education. While many books focus on the broader socially ethical topics of widening participation and promoting equal opportunities, this unique book concentrates specifically on the lecturer's professional responsibilities. It covers the real-life, messy, everyday moral dilemmas that confront university teachers when dealing with students and colleagues - whether arising from facilitated discussion in the classroom, deciding whether it is fair to extend a deadline, investigating suspected plagiarism or dealing with complaints. Bruce Macfarlane analyses the pros and cons of prescriptive professional codes of practice employed by many universities and proposes the active development of professional virtues over bureaucratic recommendations. The material is presented in a scholarly, yet accessible style, and case examples are used throughout to encourage a practical, reflective approach. Teaching With Integrity seeks to bridge the pedagogic gap currently separating the debate about teaching and learning in higher education from the broader social and ethical environment in which it takes place.
