For Retta and those who still are not convinced with the problem of APATHY among college students then how do you explain the following?
1. How do you explain students constantly coming late to class? 2. How do you explain students constantly leaving early from class? 3. How do you explain excessive student absences "no shows"? 4. How do you explain students SLEEPING in class? 5. How do you explain students non-participation in class discussions? 6. How do you explain students never or rarely asking questions in class? 7. How do you explain students not using office hours? 8. How do you explain students not showing up for exams or quizzes "no shows." 9. How do you explain students not turning in assignments when you give them ample time to work on it and to seek assistance before the due date? 10. How do you explain students not taking advantage of extra credit opportunities to earn bonus points to increase their grades when they clearly need it? 11. How do you explain students not taking notes in class? 12. How do you explain students not using tape-recorders in class when you recommend it to them? I can go on forever....... Do you still think none of the above is attributed to APATHY? There is one simple answer to all this and that is STUDENT APATHY. But I should also note that apathy is not only a problem among college students. It is also a problem in our society and in the general population.
