The institution that I instruct for is wonderful and there are very few things that I would change. However, it seems like every session I have at least one (or sometimes a small angry mob) of students who see Psychology as a major barrier on their way to the completion of their certification/diploma program. These often vocal students like to communicate their disdain immediately--in any public venue--seemingly with the hope that I will be able to wave my magic wand and release them of their requirement. I do understand their concern and can appreciate that to a student who is working on a dental hygiene certification--Psychology might seem to be a waste of time. However, as we all know, they keys to a well-rounded education lie in exposure to those topics outside of our specific career path. To deal with this issue, I do everything in my power (literally from day one) to infuse humor and understanding into my repertoire in the hopes of helping them to understand why human behavior is so important. But I have often felt as though the campuses that we serve could do more at a programmatic level to help students understand (and field questions/concerns) prior to their enrollment. I have brought this up many times over the course of years and the response is always an enthusiastic "sure--we'll help!" then no action... Has anyone out there been able to bridge this gap or worked successfully with their corresponding campus administration to help? Or perhaps any additional suggestions? Thanks so much!
