Making the high school to college transition as educators.
I have had experience on both levels and have noticed that projects and deadlines are very important to the adult learners. With varying factors outside of class for them, it is worth the extra time to plan out a well-documented syllabus which also helps to make them feel that I am very organized.
I agree that they need to take responsibility for their own learning. though the saying goes, you can take a horse to water but you can't make him drink it", I prefer the quote, you can't make him drink it but you can make him thirsty.
I also feel that there is a need to change the mindset of the student from the passive student learner to the active student learner. Once the student graduates they will need the tools of life-long learning to be successful in an ever changing, evolving world.
