What do students really want for the university education?


Introduction

The reason why I decided to write this article is: Even though most people say, "Education is important." , "Education is necessary.", they do not know the reasons and evaluations toward it. Professors and instructors could say, "We have the student-centered quality of education.", but what is the criteion? The term, quality, is frequently used as an ambiguous meaning. We must think of how we implement and evaluate the quality of education. It should be referred to as the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching. First, I start with pointing out traditional teaching myths. In later sections, I will discuss how we could accomplish quality teaching by citing detailed methods from "Universal Teaching Strategies."

This article is not just a copy of references, or the collection of other people's methods. It is important to point out stereo-typical common senses in education. Then, our other goal is to disseminate such education literacy to general people. Every citation is under such context, which is also based upon my experience and students' voice.
