A Vision of Students Today

a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University.

they missed the note card saying : I will attend over 100 parties, spending hundreds of dollars in beer and liquor. haha its true....

I think I see the point but in reality, if you want to get more out of it, don't bring your damn laptop to class... why so complicated? It's a privilege to be able to attend University, I felt that privilege every time I sat in a lecture or lab. Grow up a bit maybe?

Privilege? Bull shit. It's a necessity is you want to live in this world, and even then it's only going to get you so far. Why do you go to university, think about it.

200 contributors is actually a small sample when generalizing about such a large group of people. It isn't necessarily representative of said group. In my experience, those kinds of "facts" were only true of 100 and 200 level classes, mostly full of freshman and sophomores who had yet to declare a major or enter a department. Most of my peers at University of Washington became much more focused and dedicated once they entered their major department and started taking non-survey classes.

yes, our education system is seriously flawed. i blame the students most of the time, my fellow students, sadly. man up, get over yourselves, and starting caring about your education. you don't have to partake it in if you do not like it but get out of my way and let me make sure my professors know my name, because that is my job, so that i get the education i deserve based on the effort i put in.
