Make a significant number of courses much more self-study oriented with pass/fail exams to demonstrate basic understanding. Move towards projects (mostly individually done, but at least 1-2 larger student-team efforts) that are heavily guided and curated by 2-3 professors/teachers with the goal of requiring real effort and a portfolio-worthy finished effort. Most professors at my institution barely, if even then, pull this off for MS students. Most undergrads are lost in the noise . . . We ask too little of students and I kind of feel like we insult them with "check-list" courses. Students who struggle seem very passive to me - when I chat with them individually, I sense most are ambitious, but not particularly vested in the practice required for success. But they mostly bloom if nudged into a "just get going and try hard" effort mode. |
