Well, "motivated" isn't a term I would apply to all university students... I have certainly had students who were unwilling to put in the work required to really learn C.S., but they don't typically pass my classes! But as far as "attitude", I've never had a student who didn't understand that it was his fault if he failed and why he deserved an F... However, you're right that the true trouble-makers in HS wouldn't be here --- or certainly wouldn't make it to my classes as I don't teach the intro classes. Actually, the only real dissent was about 10 years ago at another university. I caught a student cheating, turned him in through the university channels, and the university judicial board found him guilty. That meant his football scholarship was cancelled, and this was a very expensive private university. I got a call at home from his mother (the only time that has happened!), all upset about how I could consider her baby a cheater and ruin his life like this. I think the student understood how he had done it to himself better than his mother did.... -- Steve Tate --- srt[At]cs.unt.edu | Gratuitously stolen quote: Dept. of Computer Sciences | "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, University of North Texas | or better,' so I installed Linux."
