God help us when those poor students graduate into the real world, unable to perform even the simplest metaphysics or epistemology!

I am definitely interested in how things look for STEM majors on average, and whether they've seen a similar decline. Although the article has a quote from a math professor, and that's certainly not a degree you get into without some level of dedication.

Or brain surgery, or lawyering, or designing roads and buildings.

And what if they work at a nuclear power plant?

    That's my point though.

    Perhaps $100 per course per semester is better spent elsewhere, and maybe walking out of a lecture on Dostoevsky is the correct thing for a human to do.

    Are students walking out of brain surgery classes because of phones?
