>From the time that I spent teaching I have found that even though I
am a wealth of knowledge a majority of the students only wanted to do
just enough to pass.  The ones that paid attention, worked hard,
interacted during lectures, took labs through the extra credit
portions (and sometimes beyond), and got certifications are doing
really well.  The others are still struggling because they are still
doing just enough to get by.
