Generation X
Some of generalizations regarding generation X I do not agree with. Yes, some students due need constant reminding that they are doing well. While the majority of students from this generation I have found to be very independent and sophisticated.
Agree. These generalizations are dangerous and can create a false sense of the identities of these students for the instructor.
I'm not sure what you read, but it is my understanding of this course that Gen X DOES work independantly and DOES NOT need constant reinforcement. You are describing GEN Y, not X.
I feel the same way regarding the generalizations involving Generation X. I believe that although the baby boomers might struggle a bit with advanced technology, there is always a will to learn and advance. Our generation X not only has the experience of manual documentation, learning habits, but now also have the ability of incorporating new and advanced technology.
