A challenging article. Provocative for someone teaching like I do.

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/09/13/opinion/sunday/are-college-lectures-unfair.html

My first thought: more quizzes? Yeah, right..... No thanks.

My second thought: I just want to tell a story, not necessarily pass on a body of knowledge. Is the article even addressing such a situation?

My third thought: I could change it up in a structure that guaranteed security for me and for the students. That's not the case at the moment.

But are all of those just rationalizations??
