TA confession: I'm sorry, but most of your children (my students) are average

Yeah, I get that people read/work at very different speeds, but I’m deeply skeptical that any (much less virtually all) of the undergrads I taught could read scholarly monographs at a speed of 125+ pages per hour.

Given the amount of reading a research-active faculty member needs to do to keep up in their field, I don’t think the students are alone in this approach to their texts…
