内容説明
The convention of appointing external examiners is commonly regarded as the principal guarantee that British university degrees are of a consistent and high standard. But who exactly are the external examiners? What do they do? Very few university staff are professionally trained in the arts of teaching and examining. This book sets out to examine what is meant by professionalism in teaching, argues that there is a strong case for professional training of academics and whether it can be classified as a profession. It provides a cogent account of the work of external examiners - from their appointment through to the submission of their reports and covers the following areas: the external examining system - definition and concerns; the organisation and conduct of examinations; descriptive data on courses; the work of external examiners; the briefing, deployment and duties of an external examiner; boards of examiners and the external examiners' powers.
