Don't know if it's true for all colleges or universities - but I provide copious handouts, powepoints (which I hate but which are really helpful), and other visual supports online. I use lecture time as an opportunity to engage in discussion and dialogue related to the topic and assigned readings. Apply the knowledge is my goal. Don't want the students focused on trying to get down information they think they need to know for the exam. I hope that you will be able to provide support for your HS daughter so she'll have a handle on this by the time she hits college.
