I find it very frustrating in my classes when students focus on "what do I have to learn" as if someone else should decide where you should be motivated. I don't think our current educational system will change things as we "measure" accountability by numbers rather than success.V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513616792028141844.post-551859878726206002008-12-13T13:30:00.000-05:002008-12-13T13:30:00.000-05:00Wonder if someday we will get to the important par...Wonder if someday we will get to the important part being the learning rather than the testing? I was a guest in a colleagues graduate class last week and the students kept badgering her about what exactly did they have to do to earn particular points and exactly what was going to be needed to get the grade. Intercultural communication class for international business.
