How do "good" college teachers present information?

According to Meiland, a "good" college teachers present information in the following way. In general, they present some information, in the sense of "what is currently believed." Yet they also spend much time talking about the basis on which this information is currently believed. And they make their students discuss and examine the basis of current. In college, students is needed to acquire ability to treat materials as beliefs or conclusions that have been reached on the basis of investigations rather than as unchanging fact.

I agree with this opinion. In high school, our studying is memorizing facts and the opinions of the instructors. But in our life there is a many situation that we have to find out answers by ourselves, such as getting a job with which company. We should acquire new types of intellectual work for own future.
