Paul, Like your "Come and join me in Learning" statement. This is what being in class should be about. A lot of college students pay tuition and come to college and once there dare any instructor to teach them anything. They need to realize that college is not high school and it is not compulsory. They are there because they have chosen to be and the course they are enrolled in is required because it helps them move closer to their career goals. If they get that message into their heads they then can enjoy the passion of their instructor about the field and enjoy learning what they are being taught. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
