What's crazy for me is that student quality is bifurcating rapidly. I've been teaching on-and-off since 2018 and while it's always been the case that classes were 1/3 serious kids and 2/3 just along for the ride, the best students are better than they've ever been while the worst are just abysmal.
Just a professor standing in front of BlueSky demoralized because exams my students used to get a mean of 83% on prior to 2020 are now failed in large numbers. It seems that their ability to APPLY concepts to new contexts/domains has all but disappeared. I love these students & I am worried.
