This is very true. Sometimes we can give the students all the tools they need to perform a task but they can't work the job. As an instructor I try to role play with them and give them real life scenarios that they might encounter. I feel like this way they can have revelance when they do get out in the field and can critically think and look back at how they handled the situation.

I teach Medical Assisting and it's taught in cycles so we are teaching the same thing over and over sometimes. So I understand about sometims not being excited about teaching a certain topic. For examples for me I find it difficult to teach the endocrine system. When that topic comes around again for me to teach I will try to come up with different assignments and group projects or games that will make it exciting for myself and the students. Also, asking other instructors what they have done and gather ideas from them as well.
