Library Journal Review

A CUNY provost and veteran philosophy professor examines the duties and responsibilities of faculty and provides appropriate standards by which to judge academic malpractice. Cahn discusses ethical aspects of teaching, examinations, grades, the relationship between instructor and student, degree requirements, college-wide and departmental service, voting procedures, research and publication, evaluation of faculty, appointments and dismissals, tenure, and graduate education. This stimulating work contains touches of humor and numerous anecdotes. It should be read by academic administrators, faculty, and graduate students, as well as the general public.

Booklist Review

Cahn offers a serious, straightforward appraisal of the morality, professionalism, and performance of his peers in the world of college and university teaching. In what is essentially a book of guidelines, the author delineates how a teacher should teach and grade, discusses the importance of research as well as the way in which opinions should be imparted, and comments on how professors should interact with students, administrators, and peers for the benefit of all. Keenly written, if occasionally pompous, this important work is not only for those directly immersed in academia, but also for all others whose lives are touched by it. Bibliography; no index.
