But also somewhat weak dependent students do well who need a lot of hand holding and need permission to change the rules from high school. I love to become engaged with students who are pursuing something that is important to them and are really knocking themselves out over it. Students who are looking for definite, dictates about what I want them to do. Who just want to be intellectual bureaucrats, who just want to fulfill a check list of requirements. Those sorts of students tend to get angry with me.
Lazy students do poorly.
I tell lazy students they are wasting their time. That being an undergraduate for four years is really a privilege and a wonderful experience and if their not willing to work they shouldn't be here. Unless students are willing to commit themselves and engage, they are doing themselves a real disservice. Sometimes students come to me thinking that they are going to learn something they are not, especially Jung. They will want everything I know about Jung in a rote way or a purely therapeutic way, and they simply can't get that from me.
