Blogging Assignment:How "good"collage teachers present information?

According to Meiland, a "good" collage teacher presents information in the following way. A "good" collage teacher tells students the basis of what is currently believed. It is because they require students not only to understand information presented by teachers but also to develop it toward higher level for themselves. That is, "good" teachers want students to question materials which are usually regarded as obvious things and find good reasons or evidence for believing them, before students take the information for granted without thinking deeply on their own.

I think what Meiland claims in this text is so important to improve our education. In Japan, most junior high school and high school teachers tell students to accept information as it is and memorize it. However, in this way of studying students can't develop their own power to examine and evaluate the information they are given critically. Therefore, in college, we should change our way used in high school and start asking questions( WHY?, WHAT? or HOW? and so on...) and thinking critically as the way Meiland presents.
