SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book helps college instructors not just handle but also prevent disruptions in higher education so as to not lower learning standards. Seeman provides guidelines for preventive skills that respect the teaching style of the instructor/professor. Included are concrete examples of problems and their preventions/solutions; help for creating a course syllabus that curtails discipline problems; and training exercises to practice these skills. --from publisher description
