Giving exams today at this campus (ECCA) is bittersweet -- some of these students were so young, so jejune, that getting them to understand conceptual thinking was near impossible. Many of them were also socially arrested, incapable in doing research (outside of simple searches on Google), and lacked the perspicacity or background to function academically on the college level.
And the level of a Public Speaking class is low-level; it is a "basic skills" class. I am pretty sure only about 25% grasped the basic material of the course. Most of the others can't really study, or operate independently enough to keep up with the course. I feel sorry for them; but I will still grade them honestly (and that will not give them a good start on their college transcript). And so it goes.
