University education should not lead students toward a prescribed right way of thinking. Teachers provide concepts, evidence, and critical skills that students can use to educate themselves. That purpose differs from rote delivery followed by regurgitation in an examination. A lecture is a one-sided discussion and a seminar a two-way discussion, so both should cultivate judgment rather than obedience.
