Uncovering aspects of university culture which are often hidden or
misunderstood, this book brings together international
perspectives, showing the matches and mismatches between experience
and expectation, as both staff and student face new academic
cultures. Drawing on the stories of students and members of staff
in the higher education sector as starting points for analysis,
this book considers aspects such as the dynamics and pragmatics of
university settings, from tutorial to lecture; the assignment and
multiple text types from reflective logs to essays; different
interpretations of grades, grading and feedback. Topics are
explored with examples from critical incidents and narratives in
international contexts - both where staff or students cross
cultures and borders, and where they are functioning within the
university culture with which they are most familiar. Ideal both
for those new to learning and teaching in higher education, and
those seeking to refresh their practice, this must-read book uses
case studies and narratives to illustrate key challenges academics
and students face. With consideration given to learning across
cultures, the narratives and topics lead to enquiries which the
reader can ask and research for themselves to find helpful answers
to explain their own university experiences.
