I\u2019m glad I saw this PHD Comic<\/a>.\u00a0This is a real issue. And while professors sometimes lag behind technologically, that isn\u2019t what is going on here. Texting is simply not conducive to effective communication in the professional world. Students may think it is \u201cold school\u201d but when they themselves are in an old school, they need to learn the skills they will need in the future.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean learning to add punctuation to text messages. It means learning to communicate by other means entirely.<\/p>\n
