Point of View: Teaching Understanding in Undergraduate Education.
Kolthoff, I. M.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v13 n2 p72 Nov 1983

Points out the increased burden on teacher time resulting from increased teacher-student contact and reiterates the motto "Theory guides, experiment decides," as the guiding principle for the techniques described.
