Taking the teaching method of graduation design course of civil engineering specialty as a case study, new problems aroused in the teaching method of this process were presented. To solve these problems and to ensure teaching quality, change the step-by-step guidance to asking students to give lectures on the relevant different aspects of knowledge as the graduation design goes on. These lectures given by students should be address to all other students within the same group and teachers. Thus requires students to have a thorough review of the knowledge in the design process. This teaching method, changing from the stuffing method to an initiative one, requiring students have a thorough understanding of what they learned and try their best to explain them clearly. This will give students a multi-aspect training. Through several years practice of this teaching method, not only both students and teachers are satisfied, but also teachers can have a better understanding of their students from many aspects, teachers and students developed a deep friendship.
