[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, they're really ill prepared academically and emotionally. I've been teaching college for 20 years and in the last 4 years students have gotten much more demanding. [/quote] +1 The emotional aspect is what I find most surprising. Over the last 20 years, the students have become increasingly demanding and need more handholding. My colleagues and I joke that we are teaching the 13th grade. I teach history and have noted a decline in writing and critical thinking skills over the last 20 years. My STEM colleagues also agree that critical thinking skills are declining and tell me many students seem to be formulaic and/or rote thinkers and lack problem-solving skills. [/quote]
