Sumario

Faculty are often prompted to examine their undergraduate programs because "something is broken and not working right." Each of the chapters in this book, read separately, offers the means to diagnose problems and to develop alternative remedies. /// Reading this book will be an excellent faculty development activity for an individual or for a group of faculty.

The authors offer faculty a scholarly overview of the critical issues and provide specific strategies to modify undergraduate programs. When read together, the chapters form a comprehensive framework for renewal and change in undergraduate psychology. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).
