Tim, Thanks for the elaborate explanation of your experiences with student apathy and how you have tried to overcome them over the years. I do agree with you that sometimes if we change our approach or behavior as instructors we can see changes in student apathy. However, I do not believe this will solve most problems with students apathy. I think student apathy is a far more serious problem and despite how you change your teaching styles you will still see lots of apathy among students. Also, your solution only addresses a few of the many 12 most common "apathy" items I listed before. It still does not solve the many other problems with student apathy such as excessive student absences, late assignments, not taking notes, sleeping in class, etc. This is a difficult and widespread problem and the solution to this is not that simple.
