Culture: Class of 2014 Mindset List

List from Beloit College to help professors understand the incoming freshman class.

  • Most of these students were born in 1992
  • Few in the class know how to write in cursive
  • Most have never used a wrist watch to tell time
  • Seldom use e-mail, almost never use snail mail
  • One quarter of the class has at least one immigrant parent
  • Maps of the human genome have always existed
  • Computers have never lacked a CD-ROM drive
  • Russians and Americans have always been living together in space
