The main themes for all of these students comments revolves around their perceptions of themselves and observations of their classmates. Are Japanese university students lazy? Well, they seem to think so. Maybe it is because in comparison to how they used to study they are indeed lazy. Do they study as hard as they did in high school? Again, this seems to be a definite no. Needless to say the present students are not all that they were in high school and I have the definite feeling they do not want to be the same in university. Consequently there is the need of reform in the university system. I think there is the need for reform in educators, and the need to address this current inadequate situation both for the students and for ourselves.
