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?
