Professional learning and development for higher education personal tutors and academic advisors. With contributions from 50 practitioners from across the sector, this text examines the key themes, theories and concepts relevant to personal tutors and academic advisors and translates these into real-world practice. Case study narratives from a range of settings demonstrate how student learning and outcomes can be improved, and related critical thinking activities encourage reflection on how these learnings can be applied in specific contexts. The book provides invaluable insights and support for all personal tutors and academic advisors, enabling practitioners to learn from each other, develop innovative ideas, and feel part of a community of learning. Please also see Effective Personal Tutoring in Higher Education for the themes on which the case studies in this collection are based.
Teachers spend much of their time on assessment, yet many higher education teachers have received minimal guidance on assessment design and marking.

This book considers how the main doctoral awarding countries from across the globe examine doctoral degrees. It compares and contrasts their approaches, comments on their robustness, and identifies examples of good practice. The doctorate is the highest award made by universities, but the examination process involved varies considerably in form and structure across the globe. This book studies the similarities and differences systematically on a cross-national basis, providing insights into the ways in which countries have sought to ensure that the awarded degree is comparable in standards. This book presents case studies of examination policies and practices covering 20 countries, which col...
Is it possible to bring university research and student education into a more connected, more symbiotic relationship? If so, can we develop programmes of study that enable faculty, students and ‘real world’ communities to connect in new ways? In this accessible book, Dilly Fung argues that it is not only possible but also potentially transformational to develop new forms of research-based education. Presenting the Connected Curriculum framework already adopted by UCL, she opens windows onto new initiatives related to, for example, research-based education, internationalisation, the global classroom, interdisciplinarity and public engagement. A Connected Curriculum for Higher Education is...
Higher Music Performance Education, as taught and learned in universities and conservatoires in Europe, is undergoing transformation. Since the nineteenth century, the master-apprentice pedagogical model has dominated, creating a learning environment that emphasises the development of technical skills rather than critical and creative faculties. This book contributes to the renewal of this field by being the first to address the potential of artistic research in developing student-centred approaches and greater student autonomy. This potential is demonstrated in chapters illustrating artistic research projects that are embedded within higher music education courses across Europe, with exampl...

Ihre Gedanken rasten, doch ihr Körper rührte sich nicht einen Millimeter. Sie wollte schreien, aber ihre Lippen blieben vereist und leblos.

Lucy nahm all ihre Hexenkraft zusammen, um den teuflischen Bann abzuschütteln, doch ihre Gedanken prallten gegen einen Eisberg. Hinter ihr, auf einem schmalen Grünstreifen knackte Holz. Eifrige, stinkende Hände rissen mit roher Gewalt einen Stamm aus der Erde und zertrümmerten ihn auf dem Asphalt. Das Geräusch musste doch weithin zu hören sein! Jemand musste kommen! Sie waren doch mitten in Wien ...!
