Market research

“There’s nothing more pathetic than an older person trying to be cool and appeal to young people. And kids can sniff it out like that…”

“There was this teacher, and she like taught us how to research like 5 million times in one year and then I had her the next year and she tried to teach it again. I know it already!”

“I get the impression from a lot of students that they’re not used to having to think – they just want to cut and paste. But I think the problem is more about kids not having confidence in their own ideas – they just say what they think you want to hear. They’re afraid of getting the answer wrong.”

“I think students have a tendency to assume, depending on their age, that because it’s published somewhere, even on the net, then it must be factual.”
