The character gap : how good are we?
\"We like to think of ourselves, our friends, and our families as decent people. We may not be saints, but we are still honest, relatively kind, and mostly trustworthy. Miller argues here that we are badly mistaken in thinking this. Hundreds of recent studies in psychology tell a different story: that we all have serious character flaws that prevent us from being as good as we think we are - and that we do not even recognize that these flaws exist. But neither are most of us cruel or dishonest. Instead, Miller argues, we are a mixed bag. On the one hand, most of us in a group of bystanders will do nothing as someone cries out for help in an emergency. Yet it is also true that there will be many times when we will selflessly come to the aid of a complete stranger - and resist the urge to lie, cheat, or steal even if we could get away with it. Much depends on cues in our social environment. Miller uses this recent psychological literature to explain what the notion of \"character\" really means today, and how we can use this new understanding to develop a character better in sync with the kind of people we want to be.\"--!

Teaching as if Learning Matters
Teaching is an essential skill in becoming a faculty member in
any institution of higher education. Yet how is that skill actually
acquired by graduate students? Teaching as if Learning
Matters collects first-person narratives from graduate
students and new PhDs that explore how the skills required to teach
at a college level are developed. It examines the key issues that
graduate students face as they learn to teach effectively when in
fact they are still learning and being taught. Featuring
contributions from over thirty graduate students from a variety of
disciplines at Indiana University, Teaching as if Learning
Matters allows these students to explore this topic from their
own unique perspectives. They reflect on the importance of teaching
to them personally and professionally, telling of both successes
and struggles as they learn and embrace teaching for the first time
in higher education.
