are your college students studying hard?

[Anonymous]

I am a college professor and am dismayed at how little effort students put into their coursework. Attendance has been horrible. Students took 1.5 weeks off during spring break. Homework hasn't been turned on. They all seem to give up and do not care. I wonder if it is only true for my university and the cohort. What do students want get out of college?

Working hard or hardly working?

My kid is at Rice and working very hard. Where do you teach?

I imagine there has to be an undercurrent of pointlessness to everything with what they hear about the job market and AI and the general state of the world.

And I think a lot of them never learned to work hard in high school, either. Even the so called high performers. My HS senior told me that the valedictorian in her class is widely known to cheat on absolutely everything.

My kid was locked in his room on Saturday finishing up some school work before departing for spring break on Sunday.

Bullshit. What college professor calls it "homework?"

Yes

Mine isn't. DC said some prof are also not working hard.

4.0 dual STEM major, but then DC is a high performer, so maybe the professors they have are not that difficult for them.

What should it be called? Assignments? They don't do it anyway.

My college senior works hard and takes his courses seriously. He enjoys learning. However, he tells me there are classes he always attends and classes he rarely attends. These are based on the professor. Some classes have professors who simply repeat the readings and don’t add to learning. Some professors are super engaging and he looks forward to their classes.
