Hi Jennifer, As to whether a student enjoys a class or not, you have to make them understand how the class is going to help them professionally and at times personally. It is important for a student to understand the purpose of the course. Incorporating fun into learning always makes a course more interesting. Whenever students bond with their classmates they are more likely to share information because they are comfortable. Your tatic to come up with a writing topic is very clever; it makes it seem as though that thinking of a topic really is not hard. Patricia
