A Better Way: Part 2

Develop and hire instructors that specialize in undergraduate education

When live faculty are used, they should be specifically trained as undergraduate instructors.

Within each undergraduate major, colleges should offer a specialization in undergraduate pedagogy. Faculty hired to teach undergraduates would be these bachelors-degree holders rather than the research-types currently used.
