Recenzii
It is a book accessible to all but which, if it is truly understood and absorbed, has the power to transform the way we relate to the university and to shed light on neglected, uncritically accepted aspects. It is especially aimed at students who do not know how to approach university, what to do with a system that seems to work against them in a certain sense. It is an orientation map that allows you to use the university to your advantage and not fall victim to it. It is structured in chapters in which the author interviews academics who explore different themes
I recommend it for anyone involved in higher education, whether as prospective student, current student, recovering student, faculty, counselor, someone paying the bills, or (especially) the president of the place. It takes us below the polish and fantasy of the brochures and hype to an honest look at the highs and lows of university life.
Universities do both good and bad things with and to their students - though much less is usually heard about the bad than the good. Helen Lees has done university students (and staff) a service by writing an honest user's guide to both understanding, and coping successfully with, the positives and negatives of life in universities. The book does this by taking a fresh and novel look at both academic evidence on universities as organisations and the personal experiences of those who have studied and worked in them. By putting forward a reasoned and evidenced critique of a complex but important institution she has provided a valuable and useful addition to the global literature on higher education.
Helen E. Lees innovatively frames university life as a 'game' through conversation with established scholars. A must-read for first-time students before they join the 'game'. A thought-provoking read to reflect upon for aspiring returnees, as well as students and academics who are in the "game".
I wish my students had read this before going to university; I wish I'd read this before going to university.
