User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book, written more than 100 years ago, documents a long list of shortcomings of American college education that sound incredibly familiar. It is both startling and depressing to discover how many of the problems inherent in higher education today are generations old. If anything, things have gotten worse, not better. Grade inflation and an incoherent, consumer driven curriculum, problems that Flexner describes vividly, have become even more deeply entrenched. As Flexner makes clear, there are solutions to these problems, but they require toughness, persistence, and vision to implement. Since higher education has come to be dominated by state financed mega-campuses such solutions seem even more unlikely. No faculty or administration that attempted to implement them would long survive the political turmoil they would create, and private colleges, already under pressure financially from publicly financed competition, would soon find themselves without students to teach. Although a century old, this analysis is well worth reading for the depth of historical perspective it provides on one of the most important issues facing American culture today.

⭐After a looong wait, this book arrived damaged. Disappointing.

⭐Not found.
