• Resumen

  • Colleges and universities have become little more than student-factories; turning out products that are inferior or worse yet, obsolete when they walk off the commencement stage. As a physical chemist I can appreciate the importance of technology in both teaching and research. But, proficiency with technology does not guarantee good teaching. Perhaps we should all use a little more chalk and a little less tech; spend more time training students to think and less time telling them where to click. I have a New Yearâ��s resolution; a new strategy that I plan to unveil at the start of the spring semester (and at the beginning of every semester thereafter). Iâ��m hoping that dedication and passion are contagious! My standards are going up; my time spent with students is going to increase. Students will have excellence demanded of them and excellence demonstrated to them�Als Ik Kan�to the best of my ability.
