I teach general education courses which are vital components of the students' well-rounded education. Unfortunately, the students don't see it that way. The problem students that I have are generally the ones who don't see the value of these general education courses and how they are beneficial to their overall careers. They come to class only because it is required and put in the minimal amount of effort to pass the class. The challenge is making the material relevant to these students. In order to engage these students, I try to incorporate their specific career interests and programs into the general education material (i.e. a mock trial for paralegal students that demonstrates the structure for writing an essay).
