As a college student, I think I can respond to this.
> Reading bores them, though. They are impatient to get through whatever burden of reading they have to, and move their eyes over the words just to get it done.
At least for me, it's not that reading bores me - there just isn't enough time and benefit to it, especially for novels and literature. Literary books aren't going in my CV, nor providing any insight into how to write better code. When 1200 people compete for 1 open internship position, can I really afford to waste my time like this?
Edit: note - we don't have any literary modules in my course - any reading would be voluntary.
> What I mean is the reflexive submission of the cheapest cliché as novel insight.
I distinctly remember being penalized for any insight that didn't fit marking criteria back in high school english lit. If ChatGPT-like writing is what'll get me to pass, so be it.
> Attendance is a HUGE problem—many just treat class as optional.
Well, most lectures just aren't very helpful. They move slower than if we just read the docs. This is very uni/course specific though
