I've been getting requests to become lecturer in several universities. When I do, I'd like to do these :
1. All students are guaranteed C (pass) mark
2. Questions asked during lectures will count as extra marks for that student.
3. I do NOT care about students' attendance in my lectures. This will be made clear in the beginning of the course.
So I will only have students who are ACTUALLY interested in the topic - not just hunting for marks.
4. Students are NOT required to do homework.
Those who does will get extra mark for their effort.
Those who clearly do diligent research on the homework WILL be compensated generously.
5. My exams will test the students UNDERSTANDING of the course - not their rote / memorizing capability.
However, reading the article linked here, I have doubts if I'd be able to do these.
Wish me luck.
