Learning, Teaching and Assessing in Higher Education

Anne Campbell is a former sheriff's department captain in North Carolina. As Anne wrote her first novel, she found it came natural to weave a mystery that left the reader wanting more, tempting them to look ahead just to see who the murderer is. Her Memories of Murder carries you along with the characters, some of whom you will root for and some you will develop an intense dislike for. Ask yourself, are you learning to like the killer?

Full of practical advice, this book will stimulate thoughtful, reflective practice, and a good understanding of teaching, learning and assessing in higher education.
