In class I don’t lecture, but engage students in an interplay of questioning and discussion to help them assimilate the material. Yes, some students surf the Web and a few doze off.

An estimated 80,000 drivers a day, for example, doze off while behind the wheel. And supporting those exhausted legions creates even more of them. "People expect to pull in at Starbucks at 5 a.m. to get coffee," says Dr. Charles Czeisler of Harvard's Brigham & Women's Hospital. "But the one who prepares it is setting...
