Students are not reading or writing emails properly, researching the MU website, and preparing themselves for classwork and/or advising. Students are not coming into college prepared. They are not being familiarized in skills such as email, and are not able to search critically for answers. Students are also not given much instruction in the ways of D2L interfaces, WebAdvisor, simple email, or general advising needs. The problem is that students are coming into college without the proper skills to find information that is useful to them. Incoming freshmen are hurt by not being prepared for college, and their school work would suffer from insufficient information provided for them. The professors and students would be helped if this problem were solved. The professors would not have to worry about their students being lost in their classes or advising sessions. Students would be more prepared for their class work, advising sessions, and able to find the resources they need.
