I am a Graphic Design instructor and my students are taken on several field trips. I think it is good to expose the students to the things that they will be experiencing once they finish the program. A lot of the field trips relate some way directly to what we are covering in class. I think that this helps them understand the subject matter a little better. It also gives them a totally different outlook. I know that everyone is not able to take there students on a field trip, but it helps a lot on the students motivation.

I always provide for my students additional resources on the subject matter that is being covered in class. It seems as though they get this additional information and never use it. How can I get them interested with the subject (graphic design) at hand and understand that they are going to always have to look at addition resources to possibly solve a problem.
