    Book Review The ideal student: deconstructing expectations in higher education by Billy Wong & Y. L. Tiffany Chiu, London, Mc Graw Hill Open University Press, 2021, 216 pp., £29.99 (Paperback), ISBN 978-0335249251 Stefan T. Siegel & Tobias Böttger Published online: 02 Aug 2021 https://doi.org/10.1080/00131911.2021.1957256 In their well-written and clearly structured volume Wong and Chiu summarise valuable data-driven research that sheds light on the important question of what characterises the ideal student. Nevertheless, they are aware of potential limitations as there “are concerns about the subjectivity, markers and achievability of the ideal student” (p. 30). We recommend this book to university educators and students as it will help them to reflect critically upon what they expect of, and what is expected in, higher education. Ultimately, the concept of the ideal student “can reduce uncertainties on what it means to be a university student” (p. 30).
