Following from the 'future of university' posts here yesterday and today, we have this thread beginning with this post: "An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up." I don't know how true this is, but if true, is definitely a sign of things changing. Via Johannes Ernst, who comments, "Read this thread by a prof and weep."
