I think it important to talk about industry experience to help establish a foundation for your class.
Hi Aaron,
Students enjoy hearing real stories that have taken place in the workplace. Stories that are applicable to the lesson get students excited.

With anatomy, I have found that discussing topics further does interest students. Not only discussing the ligaments of the knee, but mentioning certain conditions that involve tears of these ligaments out in the field has been interesting topics in the classroom. Students like to hear the application, as well.
Hi Ebonie,
Students get really excited whenever the lecture involves real life experiences.

In every lecture that I do I try to incorporate real world experiences that I have encountered to make the lecture more retainable for my students.
Hi Carrie,
Students want to and need to know how the course is going to apply to the real world.

I also think it helps to use these real life examples from your experience base to help students learn and see the relevance in their schooling.
Hi Jimmie,
Absolutely! Make the lesson real as it applies to the work world. Students appreciate it whenever we teach from a very realistic point of view.
