A professor hid $50 on campus and put the location in the syllabus. No student read it

I do all I can to put the student at the center of my classes. I really do. I work with them, because many of them are working class, they hold full time jobs, many have kids or they have to care for other family members… I tell them, you show up, do the work, let me know when you’re struggling, and I’ll do all I can to help you get through the class so you can get through your degree. But they have to meet me somewhere… but all too often, the onus is entirely on the professor to “produce results” in the modern, corporate college/university. It’s so little on actual learning now, that it’s depressing.
