I've been a prof about 10 years at a nonselective regional college. Taught in grad school (100+ program on Repec, so nothing special) during the Great Recession, and was a lecturer briefly in the mid-aughts.
Is it just me/my institution, or have the rest of you also experienced a very sharp decline in student quality/preparedness/whatever-you-want-to-call-it this term? The 21-22 year wasn't great, either, but this seems considerably worse to me. Maybe it's just my institution, though?
Thanks in advance for your perspectives.
