That's exactly my point. Students remember the content and the professors from those who took pride in their work and made class exciting and interesting. I acknowledge that the process is evolutionary, but from a personal stance, I have had professors who have gone beyond the information or examples listed in their resources to expose up to date examples which created the ability to relate and better understand. As I said, and you conversely reiterated, if the professor makes class exciting, captivating and relevant, students will enjoy coming to class more times than not. These professors aren't the ones having to worry about students notes being redistributed. I do agree that our education is ripe for significant change as well... on all fronts. "Particularly if people are ignorant of the value of the things they are sweeping aside." ??? Just as many other industries are being reshaped due to technology and innovation, the same goes for education. Grade "A" content and self learning material are more accessible now than ever. A teacher is no longer necessary to learn.
