Global Report on Student Well-Being: Volume IV: Religion, Education, Recreation, and Health
ISBN: 9780387979496 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I suppose that most of the people reading this volume will have read or have access to Volume One of my Global Report on Student Well Being. Therefore, I will not review the background literature relevant to multiple discrepancies theory (MDT), the theory itself or the essential features of the international university undergraduate data set on which this whole report is based. Anyone familiar with my earlier papers (Michalos 1985, 1987, 1988) will have a good idea of MDT. However, one really has to have a look at the first volume of this study in order to appreciate the richness of a...

President of Yale University from 1978 to 1986 and before that professor of English at Yale, A.

Quality Assurance in Continuing Professional Education: An Analysis
ISBN: 9780415098311 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Higher education in the 1990s is characterised by a pre-occupation with quality assurance.
