Why I Teach the Way I Teach
I do not require exams because I am interested in what people know, not what they can remember for a few hours after cramming. The students are tested every week through their required participation in class, where each must ask three questions related to selected stories in the news. Many students make it through four years of college without ever raising their hand to ask a question. Not in my class. Every student learns to look me in the eye, speak clearly, and ask intelligent questions about the news of the day.
