As a B.A. holding custodian I resemble that remark!

    I thought it was just my uni. Sometimes class feels like a dialogue between the professor and myself with 20 random strangers in the room.

    I get being a little shy, but I’m in second year now and people still aren’t offering anything in class, it’s weird.

      I have 3rd year where I’ve heard less than 3 people speak all semester, attendance is less than half, and no one does any of the assigned reading - its just pass assessments and get it done.

      I think its a hangover from covid teaching, but at the same time I think covid just masked a general indifference from burnout, time constraints and general pressure on existing, to where students can only manage the energy for the bare minimum.

      If you don’t mind me asking - what country you study in? You called it uni so I assume its not states.
