Sweat vs. Blood
I instill in my student's brains that the classroom is like a training ring. The more we sweat together during training the less blood will be spilled in the battlefield of the labor force, so stay focus on the classroom objectives/goals because one day it might just save your work life.
I really like this metaphor it really has a good point. I will use this for my students. thanks
I agree with this idea. In my classes I try to express that this is the students time squeeze as much knowledge from every class time experience.
I teach a 3D class where our assignments are project driven and require hands on time versus study time. Because of this I setup my classes with project driven assignments that drill students through procedures and practices that will be relevant in the field there entering.
In order to setup my students for success I pull on my own experience to strengthen my in class projects.
