James, Good point about knowing why students are enrolled. Having this information gives you an idea of how to approach and support a student. For the students that are there because their parents made them I try to convince them that their future is up to them. They need help in capturing a vision of their future and what success they want in that future. Many of them get it and really dig in and others just whine through the course or drop out. Makes me sad because they have missed a great opportunity that many individuals never get to have. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
