Description How many of you have said to yourself or to your colleagues, "I want my students to understand physiology."? The answer is obvious. We all want our students to understand physiology, not just memorize it. Or at least we all say we do. This paper will focus on what we need to do to help our students learn with understanding.

This article, although dated to 2001, is still a relevant critique against rote learning in the sciences. It is useful for all faculty in that it provides compelling arguments in support of problem-learning and teaching using critical thinking activities. The article is an important part of teaching resource library for undergraduate educators in undergraduate, graduate, professional education.
