We are half-way through the semester, and out of 52, we have lost 6 students and a meeting will be held next week by the instructors with students that are not doing well, and some will be encouraged to withdraw.
I would say, out of the students that I know that are not doing well, probably only 2, are truly giving it their best shot.
The others that are not making it are:
1) Re-admits, who previously failed the first semester
2) Students who were accepted that had bare-minimum requirements
3) Students who are not showing up to class
4) Students who are not serious, laugh when they fail an exam, and say, "Oh well, I didn't crack a book anyway."
5) Students who are working full-time jobs.
I just don't get it...why go to all of the trouble to get in, if you aren't going to take it seriously?
