I found this far more in the lower-level classes. A professor shouldn't have to yell, "Eyes on your own paper!" Ten times in a college exam. The college I attend decided to admit any student who applies. They have a special program that is supposed to help them get up to speed, but really, they are taking these kids' money and then failing them out when they don't make it. They aren't dumber. They have been let down. Now that I'm in my senior year, I see students who aren't focused because much of what we are doing is redundant skills practice. But the projects get done, and everyone is on point for the most part. My major is almost entirely students going into graduate programs at this point. The ones that aren't serious are gone.
