I believe that one of the greatest challenges for a teacher is to show value to whatever subject he/she is teaching to the students. If the students cannot find any relevance for the subject, then they will most definitely begin to disregard the subject as anything more than just mandatory. Once a student thinks that way, then all purpose for education is lost. This is just my opinion of course...
The best way to connect students to the subject is by showing that it is, has been, and will be part of their lives. Some students will do this voluntarily; however, others need a little more "management" to do the same. Let's not focus on those that can leave the subject most enlightened but on those who are finding it a little more difficult to reach a conclusion about the purpose of their entire semester in lectures. In Management 3120's case, the blog assignments force the students to revert back into their own lives to find examples of management in their past and present.
A wonderful way to inspire students, is it not?
I do not even want to mention the grade incentive to the whole deal!
