“A vision of todays students.”

I agree that most students would need about 26.5 hrs per day for everything that they do. We have to multitask in order to finish our work. We have been told that multitasking is great, that we should multitask because it is much more efficient, that we must multitask. Yet studies are now showing that multitasking is one of the least efficient ways of working. The prices for textbooks are outrageous. Scantron tests really don't test what you need to know. In a lecture class, 100-300 or more students are expected to all learn at the same pace. Do these methods work? Perhaps. Are they the bet methods for learning? Absolutely not.
