So what's really happening here? Are all the professors wrong? Do the professors expect too much of us today? Or is it really the students? And if it IS the students, what's happened? Is it a loss of motivation (, and just what are we motivated to do these days)? I think this is a VERY important issue which needs to be addressed, and maybe solved? Now listen, DON'T flame me because of the questions! This is the beginning of a discussion. I'm not giving any answers here, but rather I'm pulling out some questions. The end-goal for all of us is to determine what happened to our academic integrity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jason Coughlin BITNET: jk0@clutx ARPA : jk0@clutx.clarkson.edu
