The lecture focuses on the new teaching methods of the 21st century, how students learn better, the limitations of lecture -type teaching, how to evaluate teaching, etc., and share the teaching experience of Harvard University. It is believed that traditional lecture type teaching has low teaching efficiency due to the limited memory of students, lack of timely feedback and communication, and lack of research -based teaching. The teaching experiments of Carl and its teams were introduced, and the traditional lecture classrooms and student -centered research classroom teaching results were comparative analysis. Experiments show that the latter's teaching efficiency is significantly higher than that of lecture -type classrooms, and students' test results are much better than lecture classrooms. The curriculum design of the seminar class is divided into four steps, including targeted pre -class reading, issues to propose problems, classroom discussions and interaction activities participating in teachers. A warm discussion and exchanges were conducted with the teachers and students at the scene.
