""Challenging" means an assignment that confusing or random; a frustrating assignment that doesn't make any sense or is inadequately explained."

Wow- Does this mean we have a generation of students that think something that is difficult is bad? A question that requires they ask questions to clarify is bad? And something where they can come up with the answer right away is good?

If I am reading this correctly this is something to be concerned about.

Best,
Rhea
