Students will have more interest in a class and want to perform better if they can see that the content is relevant and can be directly applied to the career for which they are studying. Once the students have personalized the class content instructors must make every effort to create accurate expectations as to how content will be delivered. Instructors must then introduce clear expectations as to how the students are to participate in class, produce and turn in assignments and projects, and what ever else it takes to pass the class. Instructors must be fair but firm with their policies.
