stated Prof. Dr. Oliver Vornberger establishes the following effect, after much of his lecture as screencast was made available, and large parts of his students no longer came to lecture: "The good students were better, the poor students have been worse"

Although I support student initiatives by conviction, but I doubt that using a megaphone to lead prayer-like repetition of one-sided argument to the intended target.
