<p>I think it would be even more amusing/revealing if it were possible to briefly summarize the students comments or observations/expectations and compare them to the students documented body of work. After all, that is what these comments are reflecting. </p>
<p>Years ago a brother of an acquaintance announced that his brother was going to go to law school at the University of Michigan. This was before he had graduated from college, which, if I recall correctly, was a junior/community college in the rust belt. I just replied “wow…that’s great.”</p>
<p>Although these things can make chuckle or laugh out loud, the absence of any sense of academic/career opportunities and how they mesh with ones own course selection and achievement is regrettable. </p>
