Are Undergrads Learning Much in College? - The College Solution (usnews.com) - 0 views

  • Why are so many students seemingly sleepwalking through school? Because they can. The authors argued that among the culprits is an educational system that doesn't expect much from its undergraduates.
  • Many students can graduate from college without spending much time reading or writing. According to the researchers, 37 percent of students reported spending fewer than five hours a week on homework!
  • Professors are rewarded for their research and not for their teaching skills. Tenure, pay, and awards are typically linked to research grants and published papers, not on whether professors can make organic chemistry understandable to a lecture hall full of 20-year-olds. Too often professors mistakenly think that everything must be hunky dory if they get good teacher evaluations at the end of each semester.

  • It also found that youth are not simply participating in online political discussions that become simply echo chambers that fail to expose them to diverse perspectives. Only 5% of youth reported that they were exposed only to political views they agreed with online. More damning, perhaps - 34% said they didn't encounter any political perspectives online at all.
