Acording to Meiland, a"good" college teacher presents information in following way. Actually, good college teacher impart materials to the students and the students need to understand them. They,however, do not think of the materials as absolute truth, so they require us to examinate and to evaluate the materials.

I agree with Meiland's opinion. University students are scholar at the same time, so we should not only be passive. We should ask questions anytime. Teachers tell us current belief, it means there are some rooms to examinate. And we should try to find truth that is supported by better reasons.
