Cheeky Prof illustrates why Bill Gates may be wrong:
I had a student give me attitude earlier because (ready for this?) he had to spend 2 hours doing a lit search for his project and still didn’t find enough usable sources. When I told him that, yes, doing a lit search can take time and I go through the same thing he responded, “Well, I have other classes, I can’t be spending all my time on this one.” At that point I reminded him how at the beginning of the semester I had explained that students should expect to spend a few hours per week doing work outside of the class, to which he replied contemptuously, “That’s ridiculous.”
I may have to kill him.
