摘要：When Professor Richard Fralick walked into his Marine Biology class last February to lecture on marine pollution, the Gulf War was raging and Saddam Hussein had just begun pumping crude oil into the water. Instead of lecturing, he stood in front of his students and asked, “How about if we try to find out what the impact of the oil spill is on the marine organisms of the Persian Gulf?” Says Fralick, “I didn’t want to be lecturing from a textbook while what might be the biggest marine catastrophe ever was raking place.” The students were interested, and within weeks the project, which would be, finally, about forty percent of the course, had built up an incredible momentum.
