Students not being prepared for class...

After reading the article.. College Students 'get away with' poor preparation, i started to think why that could be. The article basically stated that college students come to class unprepared, which could mean not doing readings, papers etc. This can be for a number of reasons. First of all alot of students are lazy, and if they can get away with not doing work, they will. Some classes at college are easy and even though some people do not take notes in class or do class reading, they can still pass the test becuase the work is not challeging enough. Also some teachers are more laid back and will let the students off with handing the work in late, which is why some students will not do the work when they are supposed to and get an extended dead line, then do it at the last minute. This can be down to the teacher being to lenient with students, however its also down to the student being lazy and taking advantace of their teacher. In some cases students do have a valid excuse and therefore that is fine.
