Rezensionen

Delightful, witty, well-written, and insightful, Classroom Virtuoso provides not just an entertaining and informative perspective of American education at the prep school and college level, but also a thoughtful perspective of the effects of a changing American society on academic communities over the past fifty years. Whether you teach at a liberal arts college or have attended one, this book is sure to engage you. -- Mary E. Morton Strey, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Gustavus Adolphus College, Minnesota Victor Cahn is, in his own words, a teacher. A great one, whose talent I had the pleasure of experiencing first hand more years ago than he or I would care to admit. In this artful and witty volume, he still has much to teach us about education, finding a place in the world, and living on our own terms. -- A. T. Charlie Johnson, Jr., professor and associate chair for undergraduate affairs at the University of Pennsylvania A constantly engaging memoir by an English professor who loves his life as a classroom teacher. Full of practical strategies, it's a must-read for anyone starting out in the profession. -- David B. McIlhiney, Episcopal Chaplain of the University of Virginia
