Right on!  In my 28 years of college-level teaching, I've come to learn
a simple fact: "teaching" (i.e., presentation) doesn't insure learning.
While there are many students at top institutions (here we go again) who
do not need formal classroom sessions in order to learn, the other 99%
of college students do.  Knowing how to help students learn is far more
important that being a subject matter expert.
