Hi Clyde, Even though it may be a course or topic that they don't care about you can help them have success in the course by giving them success. What this means is break the course content down to the point that they can have success in one small part of the course. Then some more success and before they know it their success builds to the point that they are hooked on the course. They may never like the course in terms of content but they can see how the content is relevant and helps they to achieve their career goals. They start to see the big picture rather than just a course they have to suffer through. I teach a required course and have done what I have outlined above and the student evaluations are very high because they see application and relevancy. Gary
