Rezensionen

Praise for the First Edition

"This book addresses a key and continuing need: how we support the transition from student to graduate, and lay the foundations for sustainable employability and a fulfilling life in an increasingly competitive world. Arti's book delivers both understanding and practical 'tools' for enabling the shift our students need to make."
-Rob Ward, Director, the Centre for Recording Achievement

"I found Arti Kumar's book stimulating and refreshing and believe the model would have enabled me to adapt my own teaching in ways that would have greatly enriched my students' learning. I recommend this book to all academics. The tool will certainly make you reflect on your teaching and foster a foundation for lifelong learning in your students."
-Michael Pittilo, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of The Robert Gordon University
