[quote=Anonymous][quote=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? [/quote]

I was a adjunct last year at a small private university.   One section was great.  Well attended and work was completed on time. The other was poor attendance and work completion. It was aggravating.  Some of the kids were not ready for college work. I failed multiple students.  I followed all of the required reach out to students before failing them.  I wonder how many universities make professors hand hold kids.

I don't get why these kids pay for a service and then don't show up or do the work.

I have higher expectations for students and my own kids.  My freshman has not missed a class is studying and doing the work.
