Hi John: I think a good education always includes the need to know and the nice to know. Our experience has broght us to the classroom, and we didn't get that experience from a book. So the students can't either. Dynamic classes and great teachers provide a mixture of topic- specific material that incorporates personal, professional, academic, and job-related information in a delivery style that is interesting and enjoable, making for a comprehensive experience. There are many ways to meet course objectives. the more varied the instructional techniques, and the more involved students are in their own learning will contribute to their success in learning the required information.
