An extremely depressing thread - an English course that can’t set novels as they’re too much for students to cope with etc
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

If community-building is a bulwark against autocracy, then asking after one another might be a good place to start.
