I have been involved with higher education about 30+ years on a 45 year career... and the main problem that I see is that my students don't know how to think... they don't know how to drill down on a subject... they don't have any presentation or communications skills and for the most part write at a 10th grade high school level...
However, if you tell them exactly how you want something done, they will copy your instructions exactly because they know in doing so they will get an "A". Many of them no only have not retained anything but if you ask them what they retained in the class before this one, they will typically say "nothing" or "I cannot remember".
One day, educators are going to wake up and realize what they have done...
