Bruce Macfarlane

    Questo autore, un fisico sanitario in pensione che vive sulla costa inglese, porta un mix unico di background scientifico e passione per la fantascienza delle origini, in particolare per le narrazioni sui viaggi nel tempo. I suoi romanzi esplorano le avventure di un uomo moderno e di una signora vittoriana, intrecciando elementi descritti come un mix dell'arguzia di Tom Holt, del fascino di P.G. Wodehouse, della natura speculativa di Philip K. Dick e dei curiosi fenomeni presenti nei Fortean Times. Attraverso il suo stile distintivo, esamina le intersezioni di epoche diverse e gli incontri inaspettati che ne derivano. Il suo lavoro offre ai lettori un viaggio incantevole pieno di scenari fantasiosi e personaggi accattivanti.

      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.
