TAKE A LOOK AT THE OLD SOUTH FROM THE ANGLE OF THE COLLEGE MAN. AS A GRADUATE OF A COLLEGE IN THE DEEP SOUTH, I SAW SO MANY PARALLELS BETWEEN TODAY'S COLLEGE EXPERIENCE AND THE ONES I READ ABOUT IN HALLS OF HONOR. BY CONTRAST, THE VAST DIFFERENCES AND IDIOSYNCRACIES OF COLLEGE LIFE IN THE ANTEBELLUM ERA WERE FASCINATING. FOR ME, AS A STUDENT OF THE PRE-WAR DECADES, HALLS OF HONOR WAS A DELIGHT TO READ.

Wow. I figured Hampton was a pretty straight-laced school, but after reading this book, it seems like they take that image to the next level with the strict dress code and gate policies. I don't know how much of that I could take. I'm glad I read this book though.

This guiebook gives a great inside look for potential students and parents who are interested in Hampton University. It gives details of information one can't find simply from a website or a pamphlet offered by the university. It has opinions from students on the dormatories, the food and much more and it's the true low down. It's everything you need to know and gives that extra edge on making the final decision on a school. Choosing a school is difficult for both parents and students but with this guidebook, you'll know just what you're getting into if you decide on this school.

I highly recommend this for any teacher, instructor, or adjunt. Great and simple ideas you can use in class, especially with adult learners! I provided a copy to all instuctors.

The Handbook features historical vignettes, campus sports, and campus student services, costs...even religious affiliations! Great one-stop resource, excellent for any student and affordable too.

This is an excellent comprehensive resource for faculty, curriculum committee members, curriculum designers and developers. Part one establishes a sound historical context that is very useful when considering the parameters of curriculum required for 21st century learners. Part two discusses the central aims of the undergraduate curriculum including issues of quality, coherence, intellectual skills, diversity, and at-risk students. Part three focuses upon specific academic disciplines including; arts and science, humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, social sciences, the arts, professional and occupational education. Part four describes directions for reform including; teaching across the curriculum, interdisciplinary studies, internationalizing the curriculum, transforming the curriculum through diversity, creating learning communities and using technology. Part five focuses upon administration and assessment of the curriculum. Part six deals with changing the curriculum.

This text provides a practical comprehensive over- view of CHE within Postsecondary institutions. It serves as an excellent source for professional continuing educators who are responsible for the planning, administration, and evaluation of CE programs offered by colleges and universities. The book provides an overview and history of CHE and its major components. Philisophical issues, organizational models, financial structures, program planning, marketing, delivery systems, needs assessment, and research and evaluation are all topics covered in the text. I recommend this book for both newcomers to the field of Continuing Higher Education as well as for those persons who have had experience in the field.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't put it down. One of my experiences was detailed in one of the chapters, but all of the stories are great. I highly recommend it if you are interested at all in the supernatural.

A lighthearted look at higher education - A must read for anyone who works at a university.
