[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think morale is back to where it was pre-Covid.  For one, we are dealing with the blow that Covid dealt to student learning. Many students have entered college in the past couple of years not having learned what they should have in high school.  Moreover, they have gotten used to being given accommodations at the drop of a hat.

I find I have to go slower in lectures than I used, covering less material, often having to teach more students basic algebra (this is in a "STEM-light" field). The end result is that my tests are easier than they used to be and I don't get to cover the material I should in my courses.

Quite a few colleagues remark that teaching takes much more time and energy than it used to (yes, we have duties other than teaching!). In a sense, we (professors) are trying to compensate for the time and effort that students seem less willing to put in and the lower level of knowledge that they have come out of high school with thanks to Covid.
