They want paper to cover over inabilities ... For years the research has been clear--declining amounts of work, and when there's an exit exam after 4 years apart from the major (and that, only for some majors) there's hardly any increase in knowledge and thinking. They learn to recite things for the test.

Even the G/T kids, give them a question about centripetal force and say to start with a free body diagram the first response for half of them is that's the last unit, not this unit.

It's embarrassing.
