Hi Cindy:
Students like guest speakers and experts from their profession. Guests usually bring a whole different perspective to the teaching environment. They may not be polished expositors but what they have to share about the profession they work in is invauable.
Sometimes I'll coach a guest "to be sure to cover such and such", but most of the time they are so full of interesting material, they capture the students interest for the entire time slot.
Regards, Barry
