7 books for teachers of computing and ICT

July 25, 2016

Here are 7 book reviews, inspired by "micro" flash fiction. Flash fiction is the term used for very short stories, typically under 1,000 words. There is a sub-branch of flash fiction called nano fiction: stories that are no more than 55 words in length, and another type of story that consists of only 6 words. I've decided to call that "micro" fiction.

So these reviews are just 6 words long.

Review: Bad Education: Why Our Universities Are Broken and How We Can Fix Them

One has the impression that the main role of the university these days is to maximise profit, while that of the majority of teaching staff is to ensure the ‘correct’ views are passed on to students. All the while, students’ main concern seems to be to seek protection from anything that might make them feel unsafe.
