Disappearing Students:
The faculty who engaged in this teach-net discussion last spring presented the entire range of opinions about why students seem to be not showing up for classes. In fact, there was even some discussion of whether this is a new trend and whether it's important. If you are a Berkeley faculty or staff member, we will be happy to provide you with the transcript of the discussion. Email tollef@berkeley.edu. The Contra Costa Times has an interesting article on this discussion. The COT recently sponsored a forum covering this topic.
