Too many absent students! Too many students too tired to come to class on Mondays; too tired to make up the work they are missing; too tired to do well in their courses!
I teach speech. Speech, or public speaking, is the simplest of all communication courses. All that is required is that you show up -- allow yourself to overcome whatever fear you have of being "judged" for what you say and how you say it -- and learn some very simplistic ideas about the nature of speaking/the nature of listening. Why is it that students take even an easy course and make it tumultuously hard?
Not good for their own futures, alas!
