Again any opinions expressed here are my own and are not meant to criticize any specific institutions or individuals.
For many years I have taught a class on how to find physical and thermodynamic properties of chemical substances. I give an assignment that should take no more than 2 hours to complete and give a deadline of 2 weeks to complete it. This semester only 3 of 25 students completed this assignment in 2 weeks? Why is the rate of completion so low this semester compared to others? A few weeks ago, we could blame the snow days that disrupted the flow of the semester. This is a class given to chemistry and chemical engineering majors. Why is there so much apathy and disinterest?
Likewise, I have taught a few sections of the Research Road Maps which are information literacy sessions given to freshmen students taking humanites courses. Likewise the submission rate is low, bt more than 12% in the chemistry class that I gave.
I guess I am using this blog to vent.
