field trips
I take all my core classes on a filed trip to our local hospitals so they can see for them selves exactly what field they are in and make sure this is the career right for them.
Hi Ramon:
That comfort you are describing is key for a student to most efficiently retain information.

Hi Tami:
Field trips and guest speakers are a great way to renew interest in the material you’ve been discussing in class. It gives the student’s a chance to speak with people (possibly in the field they are training for), and gain a different and new perspective about the topics at hand.
Also, they might get the chance to ask some questions about the topics you’ve discussed and get a better understanding overall.

The students really enjoy the field trips. During this time, they get to know each other and their instructor closely, in a more relaxed setting and at the same time observe practical applications of what they have learned in the classroom.
