[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What grade? I teach kindergarten and so many kids are brain damaged from too much technology. Their eyes can barely focus on a picture in a book or on words. They haven't been able to watch a short animated movie for many years. [/quote]

It was a college course. [/quote]

Did you lecture pertain to anything they would be graded on or have anything to do with real world application of their degrees? If not, then they were using their time during your lecture timely [/quote]

Yes, I often come in to talk about translational medicine and how you go about getting biotech ideas tested and approved.  Mind you this is an audience of students who are biotech majors and who supposedly want to work in biotech or start biotech companies. They completely tuned out advice from a professional in biotech who's been doing it for over 20 years.  I'd never hire grads like these. Just horrible. Students 10 years ago had zero issues paying attention because they knew the direct relevance of the talk to their careers. [/quote]
