Are you seriously expecting highly motivated, well prepared students in an intro business course at a community college with open enrollment?
I am not knocking community colleges, they are wonderful programs that often have better teachers than the universities, but the level of academic preparedness and motivation particularly in the day school is lower than the average high school. If you are expecting otherwise you ought teach elsewhere, such as a grad school.
You hit it right on the head, Hoodie. Half of all the high school students in this area attend Gulf Coast Community College, although only a small percentage of them actually finish. A lot of them have trouble with proper punctuation and other grammatical errors when they write their papers. Makes me wonder how on earth they got high school diplomas. I make it very clear at the beginning of my classes that these are COLLEGE LEVEL courses for COLLEGE CREDIT. You are expected to use the knowledge you acquired in high school and are here to learn to think for yourself.

The entire Country of France
I'm all about hating and disliking things - this thread is right up my alley. I'm just curious about this one. France has one of the world's highest literacy rates (e.g. they are smart), have one of the world's highest environmentally-conscious ratings (e.g. they are healthy), and are the world's top tourist country destination (e.g. people like them). There's also a bazillion years of history, culture, and art that comes from France. Why hate France? It's not like they are North Korea or Iraq or something...
