What makes a university teacher 'excellent'?

Identifying and examining interpretations of teaching excellence, it considers what `excellent' means and implies for practice.

Media Reviews

'Skelton writes with an engaging critical zeal, and his book will certainly help many talented, competent, and hardworking teachers in higher education in UK to understand why, and how, a few members of their profession become mysteriously singled out for recognition and reward as excellent , whilst they themselves do not.'

'Here we have a bold and original book that cruelly exposes some of the myth-making mechanisms that politicians and their handservants have clumsily sought to impose upon contemporary HE. Extremely well written and a model of clear organisation.'
