1. Disengaged “It‟s a three-hour lecture. I go, the professor talks and talks and talks. He doesn‟t make any sense and one time someone in our class even asked, „What‟s the point of this lecture?‟ And he said, „Oh I don‟t know,‟ and kind of shrugged. So if the professor doesn‟t even care about teaching us anything important, you know… There‟s a woman who lectures sometimes, and she‟s very good so I always go when she‟s speaking, but usually I don‟t go. And most of my classes are just paper assessments so it‟s sort of pointless to go to the lectures.” - Megan “I think the university makes it really easy not to go to class. They almost encourage you not to go to class. Everything‟s online, you can read the lecture online, you can listen to the lectures online. I‟ve never had that before.” - Benjamin
2. Externally focused “Priority of study? Travelling is, really…., I can study at home. To be very honest with you, I did not come here to sit in my room and read. Good doing the work and I foresee myself getting good grades. I‟m still putting in the effort but, I just… I don‟t know, there needs to be a balance. But if I have to put it on a scale I‟d say that travelling is… doing things I wouldn‟t get to do at home is, like, really important to me right now. That‟ll keep till I go back.” - Benjamin “I‟m not really expecting too much, I‟m just hoping that I pass. I mean, with some courses, I really don‟t care if I pass because it‟s just being here and the experience is enough for me.” - Jessica
