<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>This semester I
am teaching an undergraduate research class of 153 undergraduate seniors in
allied health majors. I am appalled at the number of them that
feel entitled, are dishonest, cheat, etc. There are some
that are great but way too many have tried to take advantage of the
size of the class and simply don't seem to think twice about lying, cheating,
being rude etc. My expectations were clearly laid out. I take my
role very seriously and go out of my way to provide a variety of learning
opportunities and creative ways of doing so. I challenge them but
am also very fair and supportive. They are well aware (at least at this
point) that I am not a naive individual, nor one that is going to ignore irresponsible
behavior.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>I am aware that
these are not unique concerns in higher education today. I also am
aware of the various speculations as to why students behave this way. I
am very concerned about what that means for them and their (and
our) futures. And, unfortunately, I view the reinforcement of such
behaviors as I observe the environment my 17 year old son is growing up in
(especially in sports). <o:p></o:p></p>

end of the semester I feel a need to share my perceptions and concerns.
It's not my nature to let these things go. I feel a
responsibility. At the same time, what is it I say and how do I say
it?! Obviously I would want to begin by reinforcing those that have
been responsible and shown character, respect, and integrity. <o:p></o:p></p>
