Hi Alison Thanks for the great information. Too bad students cut out on the Career Development class. Maybe to be expected. Sounds like there is one thing you know already to keep them interested. That is having them listen to successful grads. So why not invite grads within the first day or two of class. Have the grads focus on how the class helped them get a great job. You might also raise the grading standards for the class making attendance more important or establish a higher grade to pass. Or make it a privilige to attend. If you have great placement results students will be motivated to qualify for the class. Best wishes Susan
