Students today (Generation Me) differ from those in the past. They score higher on assertiveness, self-liking, narcissistic traits, high expectations, and some measures of stress, anxiety and poor mental health, and lower on self-reliance, suggests Jean Twenge (Medical Education 2009: 43; 398-405). Today’s students would benefit from a more structured but also a more interactive learning experience. Also, over-confidence of students may need to be tempered. Staff should give very specific instructions and frequent feedback and should explain the relevance of the material. Instruction should be arranged in shorter segments and incorporate more material delivered in media such as videos and interactive format.
