Academically Adrift
Limited Learning on College Campuses
Richard Arum
A critical analysis of higher education, Academically Adrift raises the concern of whether or not undergraduates are truly learning during their time in college. Research shows that a significant portion of students show no improvement in key skills during their first two years of college. With sobering lessons for students, faculty, administrators, policy makers, and parents, this book demands attention from anyone involved in promoting or ignoring contemporary campus culture.
