Kola, I am convinced there is a Bermuda Triangle of Memory Retention for college students. This triangle is where information from the instructor about due dates and project requirements goes to die or stay in a vacuum forever. Fourth graders remember better than some college students when something is due. The syllabus, timeline handout, reminders on the board and announcements are all required to help the students remember than next Wednesday a project is due or a test is going to be given. It truly is selective hearing at the highest level. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
