I have worked as a teacher in a private College in Germany and can assure this: One is meeting students in the sixth semester who have not the faintest Idea, how to write an Essay with correct scientific quotations

@rrb @cwilcke @Natasha_Jay but how smart were they. Dyslexia is not a reason not to be at university?
