Course Design and Assessment offers design strategies,
educator-in-action perspectives, and real-world suggestions for
engaged educators, creating inclusive and meaningful learning
opportunities and developmental student growth. With a brief
history situating engaged learning among educational models, the
book shows the vital and practical connections between an
educator's overall learning philosophy and their pedagogical
choices. The authors unpack the definitions and practices common to
engaged learning, exploring the assumptions educators make about
students, teaching, learning, and instructional contexts that
underlie engaged educators' pedagogical decisions. Ultimately a
vehicle for inclusive learning and transparent design, the book
outlines pre-course planning steps, suggestions for adjusting the
course mid-stream, and a thorough discussion of assessment
activities with planning and implementation steps. For beginning
and advanced instructors worldwide, this book serves as a
real-world workbook and resource for engaged course design and
assessment practices.

The purpose of The Ethical Professor is to provide a road map to
some of the ethical dilemmas that doctoral students and newer
faculty members are likely to face as they enter a career in
academia (the Academy). Academic career paths appear to be quite
standard, transparent, and achievable with dedicated and hard work.
Argued in this book, however, is that the road map to a successful
academic career is not so easy. There are ethical pitfalls along
the way, starting with entry into academia as a new PhD student.
These ethical dilemmas remain equally opaque as faculty progress in
their careers. The ethical pitfalls that plague each of the steps
along the academic career path are often not visible to doctoral
students and young faculty members; nor are they well prepared to
spot them. Ethical issues are seldom discussed and little training
is provided on how to spot and handle these potential road blocks
to a successful career in the academy. Based on extant research and
collective years of academic experience, The Ethical Professor
seeks to shorten the learning curve around common ethical pitfalls
and issues by defining them, sharing research and experiences about
them, and offering a discussion framework for continued learning
and reflection. This innovative new volume will be key reading for
doctoral students and junior faculty members in social science
departments in colleges and universities, as well as managers
undertaking an MBA. Due to the increasing complexity of managing
academic institutions, more seasoned professors, administrators,
and college deans and presidents, will also benefit from the
research presented here.
