• W289149823 abstract "As we all, no doubt, are aware, nothing remains the same, and higher education does not escape the static (frozen) evaluation.It's simply different today, different from when I began my teaching career as a graduate assistant (freshman English) the fall of 1965 at Baylor University. In 1969, I landed my first full-time teaching job at a small college in East Tennessee, where I stayed two years.Thus, with more than forty years of full-time college teaching experience, I instructed many kinds of students in different types of institutions, primarily medium-sized state universities and church-related colleges. For an instructor to be effective, I honestly believe it is necessary for him/ her to date and index: After all, Student 1 (1980) is not Student 2 (2000) is not Student 3 (2013), etc.; the same applies to colleges and universities.The idea that all students are not alike was dramatically brought home to me in my first full-time teaching job. In a newswriting class, all students but one had turned in the assignment. After maybe ten minutes I said to the student, the other students handed in the assignment. What's your problem? (Maybe I wasn't that blunt.) I don't think the young man was trying to be disrespectful when he said to me, not the other students. I've always remembered that.So recently in my media ethics class, which runs an hour and fifteen minutes twice a week, I thought everyone would finish the test in fifty minutes. Because I another class at 12:30,1 said to myself, This will give me time to eat lunch, which I had brought that day, before the 12:30 class. (I don't know how this scheduling mishap occurred, but I don't think it will happen again.) Indeed, everyone had turned in the test but one person. Did I say anything to her? Not on your life! All students are not alike. And, on top of that, she legally had the entire time to work the test. (But, she did turn it in on time for me to eat lunch.)Now this brings me to a discussion of other incidents and a few examples.Today, in writing and editing classes, I emphasize grammar, something most of my students do not know. When I use terms such as predicate nominative, direct object, indirect object, etc., I may as well be speaking a foreign language. These students tell me-and I've been hearing this for many years-they can't remember when they last had a thorough review of grammar-I include word usage, sentence structure, punctuation, etc.- under grammar-and I believe them. (As a side note, I'm mortified when I read expressions such as have wrote, have went, and laying in a ditch in our local newspaper. The writers, at least two of whom I know, are probably between 25 and 30.)When I graduated from high school in Houston in 1959, students were well-grounded in grammar. But I had a startling revelation at the beginning of my career. One day very early in my career at Baylor University, where I had decided to work on my PhD in English, the director of freshman English called me in and told me he didn't understand why I was not teaching grammar-apparently there had been some complaints-because grammar was included on the departmental final. In other words, all students enrolled in this class took the same final written by just about everyone, including graduate assistants who taught it. Thinking of my high-school years, I simply said, They already know it!Alas, the freshman English director told me I was incorrect. Something had happened between the time when I had graduated from high school and the present (then being, of course, 1965). As the years rolled by (all too quickly), I discovered no matter where I was-the type of college (public or private) or the size-the problem (students not knowing grammar)-was universal.Today, if anything, it has intensified. One reason is that in Texas there is a standardized test all high school students must take. Apparently, schools are graded, so to speak, on how well their students do. …" @default.
