“The worrying view coming through is that students are lacking in reflective awareness...Technology makes it easy for them to collate information, but not to analyse and understand it. Much of the evidence suggests that what is going on out there is quite superficial.”

Rose Luckin, Professor of Learner- Centred Design at the London Knowledge Lab on a current study examining the internet's impact on pupils' critical and meta-cognitive skills | Times Online

Just last Sunday (June 19, 2011), authorities arrested a 68-year-old Farleigh Dickinson University physics professor because they say he was one of seven leaders of a 200-strong prostitution ring in New Mexico, where he has a summer home.

Now, Albuquerque police say Dr. David Flory had an even higher-profile accomplice: septuagenarian political science professor emeritus F. Chris Garcia, who used to be the interim president of the University of New Mexico.

.....item 1).... Yahoo! News ... THE LOOKOUT ... Police say academics accused of running prostitution ring not motivated by cash

Police allegations of an academic-led prostitution ring are getting even stranger.

Just last Sunday, authorities arrested a 68-year-old Farleigh Dickinson University physics professor because they say he was one of seven leaders of a 200-strong prostitution ring in New Mexico, where he has a summer home. Now, Albuquerque police say Dr. David Flory had an even higher-profile accomplice: septuagenarian political science professor emeritus F. Chris Garcia, who used to be the interim president of the University of New Mexico.

Albuquerque police say Garcia's role was to solicit "talent" for the pair's web site, which was called Southwest Companions. According to The Albuquerque Journal, police believe Garcia wasn't motivated by money, but that he wanted to "provide a safe place for prostitution without risk of arrest." Flory, meanwhile, told police he also didn't run the site for money, but rather considered it a "hobby," according to the Associated Press. The site's more than 1,000 members paid anywhere between 0 for a sex act to ,000 for an hour of a prostitute's time.

Flory is charged with 40 counts of promoting prostitution, while Garcia faces charges of promoting prostitution, tampering with evidence and conspiracy.

An employee at Farleigh Dickinson, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation at work, told the Lookout that the incident is a big PR blow for the university, which is still recovering from the revelation in 2005 that it employed a member of the pro-Nazi National Socialist Movement to teach European history.

"People jokingly refer to it as 'Farleigh Ridiculous,'" the employee said of the school's battered reputation.
The source described Flory as a "very opinionated guy, very sure of himself and sure of his opinions." He wore a large cowboy hat and cowboy boots, which made him stick out from the New Jersey academic crowd.

Fairleigh officials said in a statement they were "saddened" by the charges.

At the beginning of this semester I made the worst decision I could possibly make. As I was switching my schedule around during add/drop week, trying my best to make it as convenient as possible, I made the irrational choice of adding an online course to my already hefty load of classes.

I already had an unpleasant history with online classes, but for some reason I felt confident in myself and my ability to succeed.

My mom even questioned my choice of adding it to my schedule. She knows all too well how good I am at procrastinating. I’ll admit it is my specialty. But, I went ahead and registered throwing her concerns to the wind. This time it would be different.

This time I’d do my work and not let myself get behind. I was far too optimistic. I was under the impression that I’d actually do the assignments prior to the day that they were due. But, I didn’t learn.

When I signed up for the class my thought process at the time was, “It’s just the computer proficiency class and it is a requirement, so how hard could it be?”

In reality, it’s really not that hard of a class. But, actually doing the assignments on time is a true test of character.

It takes an incredible amount of self-motivation and energy for me to even consider looking at the course webpage let alone start on an assignment, especially after a long day of classes.

All I want to do is stuff my face with food, lay in bed and watch Breaking Bad for the next few hours. But no, there are things to be read and assignments to be started online.

There is nothing in this world worse than an online class and it’s unfortunate so many college students have to resort to taking them.

I know there are some people who actually prefer online classes, but they are very far and few between. Online classes are ridden with busy-work assignments and in my opinion, take away a students’ drive and motivation. There’s no professor to give you interesting insights and all the learning is done through reading and busy work. They may seem like an easy alternative to your traditional classroom setting, but to me, they’re a waste of time.

I know if I had decided to take the class on campus my grade and sanity would probably be more stable than they are now. I’d be more motivated and up-to-date on my course work and even be learning interesting things in the classroom.

Now that it’s about that time to register for classes again, I’d like to warn the general population of FSU students that online classes are never a good decision—especially if you’re anything like me. I’m confident that this will be my last online class, ever.
