I believe that my students are smart and more interested in serious questions and debates than many think.
Furthermore, I believe that students are not often asked to articulate arguments and need to be pressed to do so. And while I had many excellent teachers, the craftsmanship of writing and thinking were undervalued in most of my college classes so I have made a point of emphasizing it in the courses I teach.
