Making field trips and guest speakers a part of instruction

Public

Discussion:

Jocelyn,
Great rationale and argument in favor of incorporating field trips into your courses. I agree these outside events are stimulating and tend to motivate students in a way unlike most other activities. And the break from the routine is usually a welcomed occurrence by the students as well. Every speaker or outside event can potentially put a slightly different spin on selected topics in the course, and that is like a value-added component.
