Now, an October Intelligent.com survey of 1,000 current 4-year college students revealed that 86% say their classes are too hard, yet the majority study less than 10 hrs/wk. This begs the question: Are college students today entitled?
Key findings:
- 87% of college students say professors make classes too difficult
- Two-thirds say the professor should have been forced to make the class easier, and nearly 1 in 10 filed a complaint
- 1 in 3 students who put in ‘a lot of effort’ spend less than 5 hours/week studying
- 38% of students have asked a professor to change their grade, and 31% have cheated in order to get a better grade
- Nearly half want their school to move to pass/fail grading
