"Clueless in Academe" by Gerald Graff talks about how we students have so much to learn, and how it sometimes gets confusing. Even teachers nowadays still have to learn more that what they already know. The students learn from the teachers, but the teachers can also learn from the students. Graff talks about the academic world, and students that do not get enough education; all this is associated with “cluelessness.” However, Graff's goal is to clear up the opaqueness that shadows academia. Students nowadays are smarter than ever, they are street-smart, but colleges find themselves taking all that away and making them feel dumb. The goal is to find ways that will make the students smarter and eventually letting them to keep on getting smarter.
