The average student spent only about 12 to 13 hours per week studying \u2014 about half the time a full-time college student in 1960 spent studying, according to the labor economists Philip S. Babcock and Mindy S. Marks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"diigoContent\">\n<div class=\"diigoContentInner\">a large number of the students showed no significant progress on tests of critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing that were administered when they began college and then again at the ends of their sophomore and senior years. If the test that we used, the Collegiate Learning Assessment, were scaled on a traditional 0-to-100 point range, 45 percent of the students would not have demonstrated gains of even one point over the first two years of college, and 36 percent would not have shown such gains over four years of college.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"diigoContent\">\n<div class=\"diigoContentInner\">academic investments are a lower priority.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"diigoContent\">\n<div class=\"diigoContentInner\">The authority of educators has diminished, and students are increasingly thought of, by themselves and their colleges, as \u201cclients\u201d or \u201cconsumers.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"diigoContent\">\n<div class=\"diigoContentInner\">Distributing resources and rewards based on student learning instead of student satisfaction would help stop this race to the bottom.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"diigoContent\">\n<div class=\"diigoContentInner\">Too many institutions, for instance, rely primarily on student course evaluations to assess teaching. This creates perverse incentives for professors to demand little and give out good grades. (Indeed, the 36 percent of students in our study who reported spending five or fewer hours per week studying alone still had an average G.P.A. of 3.16.)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"diigoContent\">\n<div class=\"diigoContentInner\">College trustees, instead of worrying primarily about institutional rankings and fiscal concerns, could hold administrators accountable for assessing and improving learning. Alumni as well as parents and students on college tours could ignore institutional facades and focus on educational substance. And the Department of Education could make available nationally representative longitudinal data on undergraduate learning outcomes for research purposes, as it has been doing for decades for primary and secondary education.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"diigo-link\">                <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/05\/15\/opinion\/15arum.html?_r=1&amp;src=recg\">The Poor Quality of an Undergraduate Education &#8211; NYTimes.com<\/a>      <\/p>\n<ul class=\"diigo-annotations\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"diigoContent\">\n<div class=\"diigoContentInner\">We found that large numbers of the students were making their way through college with minimal exposure to rigorous coursework, only a modest investment of effort and little or no meaningful improvement in skills like writing and reasoning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"diigoContent\">\n<div class=\"diigoContentInner\">In a typical semester, for instance, 32 percent of the students did not take a single course with more than 40 pages of reading per week, and 50 percent did not take any course requiring more than 20 pages of writing over the semester.
