There's been a lot written by a lot of people from academic journal all the way down to blogs like this one claiming that universities are out of touch and perhaps "failing" the students, however defined. My question is what is the students' culpability in all this? It seems anyone can get a great education at a mediocre school if a lot of effort is expended. Its my supposition that effort is the lacking element for a lot of students, not new technologies or teaching methods. Thoughts, anyone?
