A lack of attention to detail is endemic throughout our society today.
You have to look no further then CC where adult posters find themselves recurrently and awkwardly apologizing for giving misinformed (and potentially harmful) advice to 17 year olds having “missed” relevant facts previously provided.
We have become a “shortcut” society.

This is the Google generation. Why read when they can Google for the answer if they need it at the last minute? That is if they can phrase the question appropriately for the search engine…

Not such a easy answer to this one, the professor’s ‘note’ in the syllabus was a parenthetical within the terms of service of the university that he attaches to his syllabus, and didn’t clearly state that there was money at a locker with a certain combination - it was more like a series of numbers that didn’t make any sense and looked like a mistake in a cut and paste job.
This isn’t on the students, it is on a professor trying to create a storyline about students.

On the other hand, one of my daughters’ recurring frustrations at the beginning of each semester is the Q&A “ritual” wasting the first and/or second day of a new course. She comes prepared and is “ready to go”, but then wants to bang her head on the table, when endless questions from around the room keep coming in that she could answer - because it’s all stated in the syllabus.
