Assign Books, and Students Will Read

Great commentary by Nancy Bunge of Michigan State University in the October 17th edition of the Chronicle Review. Rather similar to my paean of the other day regarding the true purpose of the University, Dr. Bunge talks about how she assigns her students tough work and helps them work through it.

Sadly, it's hidden behind the Chronicle's "Pay us!" wall, but if you have a password or can find your way through, it's well worth the read.
