Description
This book describes the overall pattern of undergraduate courses in the UK and analyzes it in terms of theories of knowledge, the socio-economic context of higher education and models of student development, ending with a chapter on current policies. This book will be of interest not only to academics, administrators and students, but to those concerned with the two basic questions of the curriculum: what is taught? and what ought to be taught?.
