  Mar 19 2013: A fine analysis of the problem. A good insight view is presented.
  As a medical teacher I found the teaching , learning becomes successful & beneficial when the subject is taught with stories from clinical field and personal experience with passion.

  Mar 18 2013: Learning includes three areas. In simple language we may say, the areas are: knowledge (cognitive), skills, and developing good attitudes or empathy for the sufferings of people. When you say college students, they are adults and there is a need for applying andragogy principles for teaching. Further learning atmosphere, facilities for extra curricular activities both at college & out side should available. Proper guidance, counselling, mentoring is necessary. We can not put all blames on one group or class of our population. This topic is not for just debate. Everyone has a responsibility. It is constant job to be done.
