Since Ibegan teaching in 1976, I have attempted to swing the pendulum back to more experientiallybased education.I view teaching as a joint adventure rather than a transmittal of information. An analogy of anexpedition guide comes to mind. Like a guide, I chart the course, prepare my students to meet thechallenges and guide them through.
