| 1. Engagement | Students, faculty overloaded | ||||
| 2. Cooperation | Students don't trust each other; Faculty don't know how to guide, support cooperation | ||||
| 3. Active Learning | Faculty, students believe they don't have time, energy for "inefficient" active (project-based, non-linear) instruction | ||||
| 4. Prompt Feedback | Faculty don't know how to collect, analyze, comment, distribute info rapidly and effectively; Notion of "sampling" in faculty dealings with students is alien, not trusted; BELIEVE TOO MUCH WORK TO GIVE, RECEIVE PROMPT, RELEVANT, FREQUENT FEEDBACK | ||||
| 5. Time on Task | High % of full-time students with "part-time" (30+ hours/week) jobs; Self-defeating cycle in which neither faculty nor students expect students to prepare much for class | ||||
| 6. High Expectations | Grade inflation undermines; See "part-time" jobs above! | ||||
| 7. Diversity | Many tired of discussing differences without finding constructive, feasible options; How can students be diverse and faculty homogeneous? | ||||
