DISCUSSION:

• These characteristics suggest that Generation Me would benefit from a more

structured but also more interactive learning experience, and that the overconfidence

of this group may need to be tempered.

• ... Generation Me students have high IQs, but little desire to read long texts. Instruction

may need to be delivered in shorter segments and perhaps incorporate more material

delivered in media such as videos and an interactive format.

• Given their heightened desire for leisure, today's students may grow into professionals

who demand lighter work schedules, thereby creating conflict within the profession.
