Abstract

Since chemical engineering professors are usually very pressed for time, the challenge is to teach both well and efficiently.  Fortunately, many good teaching practices are both effective and efficient.  First, common sense methods for improving teaching in "lecture" courses will be shared.  Then an effective and efficient teaching method that totally changes the teacher-learner paradigm is presented.
