Being an academic, I find this article too close to the truth - I see the "honour roll" student and "gifted slacker" students in the same classes everyday.
Both need special motivation techniques. And I find them the greatest students to teach of all!!
What disturbs me is the "completely clueless" student who got in via "alternative" enrolment conditions. Most of these got into their enrolment WELL below the cut off marks.
Most universities offer "bonus" marks - some make sense (eg: 4 bonus HSC marks if you got high marks in Math for an engineering degree), but some of the marks are well ... pure charity...
