A PEDAGOGY OF KINDNESS Teaching, Engaging, and Thriving in Higher Ed, Book 1

Narrator Emma Faye brings enthusiasm to what might otherwise be a dry academic study. She is almost chirpy at times. Despite an occasional lightness of tone, this audiobook is quite serious in identifying and addressing a problem with how college courses are taught. The author contends that the chief point of those classes is, or ought to be, how to think about the subject matter rather than the memorization of facts. She also says that addressing students' needs is the best way to get them to learn. Professor Denial relies on jargon more than is necessary, but she also includes a few anecdotes from her own experiences to lighten the tone, and Faye makes the most of them.
