This is unfortunate and I hope it does not represent the vast majority of students. My fascination with the idea stems from my perceived challenge of the course work and the enjoyment of taking a class with other students who have a genuine passion for learning. I think we've all known people who were merely "checking the block" and frankly, I don't enjoy being in a class like that. I'm glad Jennifer seems to be having a much more positive experience. I'd love to hear more from other HES students, if you're out there.
