In "Class Not Dismissed," award-winning professor Anthony Aveni
tells the personal story of his six decades in college classrooms
and some of the 10,000 students who have filled them. Through
anecdotes of his own triumphs and tribulations--some amusing,
others heartrending--Aveni reveals his teaching story and thoughts
on the future of higher education.
Although in recent years the lecture has come under fire as a
pedagogical method, Aveni ardently defends lecturing to students.
He shares his secrets on crafting an engaging lecture and creating
productive dialogue in class discussions. He lays out his rules on
classroom discipline and tells how he promotes the lost art of
listening. He is a passionate proponent of the liberal arts and
core course requirements as well as a believer in sound teaching
promoted by active scholarship.
Aveni is known to his students as a consummate storyteller. In
"Class Not Dismissed" he shares real stories about everyday college
life that shed light on serious educational issues. The result is a
humorous, reflective, inviting, and powerful inquiry into higher
education that will be of interest to anyone invested in the
current and future state of college and university education.
