I am teaching Adults as part of a certificate program. I have guaranteed enrollment because people who are taking this class need to attend my course, but that does not mean that they want to be there or have any interest in what I am talking about.

I am doing everything I can to make the topic interesting and use all the techniques to make my vocal delivery interesting, but about 1/3 of the class seems to be bored and not paying attention. They are clock watching just counting down the minutes to the end of the class.

Should I be concerned about these students or just ignore them and teach to the people who are interested? How does your teacher respond to people who are not interested in what he/she has to say?

Is 24 too old to be able to go back to college to study civil engineering and expect to have a decent chance to get hired when I graduated at approx 28 years.

I have a degree in History already.

Also, I'm in vancouver. I'm in SFU and that's the second best university in vancouver and later on, i'm thinking of getting my MBA in U.S. Would this be a challenge? or is the transition alright once i meet all the requirement? Thanks

As this generation unfolds, I seem to become more convinced that attaining a college education is a scam; I now believe that conformity has become the real secret to success in modern America. Acting like myself and doing things the way I want to do them has always lead to failure and the same thing seems to happen in education and society. Think about it: when have you ever used history, physics, biology, or chemistry in a real life situation?

Steven Spieldberg received his degree in movies at cal state long beach five years ago; Bill Gates was a harvard drop out; I know a guy who has a masters in philosophy but is currently working in a book store; 75% of people don't even finish college. Whats the deal?

Education is a big scam; an investment that they want YOU to believe will get you more money in the future. Try your best to prove me wrong...

The Holy Spirit works in our hearts. Before ascending heaven, Jesus states that we have divine power received by the Holy Spirit. Hence, we have divine authority to win when we face against the evil in the name of God. For instance, when we are doing something that is inappropriate such as watching sexual movies, smoking weeds, or committing a crime, the Holy Spirit stops us from doing. But, I denied the presence of the Holy Spirit since I did not know much about the Trinity and I was weak in faith until summer retreat. After speaking the tongues and having a close relationship with the Him, I realized the Holy Spirit really wanted to be with me. I also noticed that I had firmly closed my heart even though the Holy Spirit knocked. After confessing to God all my sins, I cannot resist preaching to unbelievers because the Holy Spirit granted me that mind. According to 2 Corinthians 4:1, “we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ” preaches using us. If the Holy Spirit were not in my

I'm a sophomore in college. My freshman year started off with me having an undecided major and then I decided to become an industrial engineer. I took math classes up to Calc 2, but I'd need to take more math like Calc 3, Probability and Statistics, and Differential Equations and probably more math classes for that major. I got a little freaked out about the math and last summer, I thought being an X-Ray technician would be cool. I thought all I'd have to do is to take pictures of the patients and send them on their way. I then got to thinking, I don't want to injure someone plus, I have no clue if I'm really interested in this enough to do it for a career. I can't think of anything I'm good at or what I'm interested in. I'm now leaning towards becoming an industrial engineer again. I can't seem to make up my mind. I thought maybe could try those math classes and become an industrial engineer. What major should I choose? How much math is involved/how hard is being an IE ? Thank

My worry comes because i fooled around in high school and basically from a 4.1 it went down to a 2.8. And since i'm starting all over in college i don't want my high school GPA to affect my college GPA because then well, im screwed ='(
So that's what i'm wondering.. Thanks for helping whoever it is =)

I think its pretty obvious that this is my situation. My friend and I catch him staring/looking across class or from far away, yet at as he comes closer, he acts like im invisible. And he sometimes talks about me/teases me to OTHER people in class, yet he's never said 1 word to me. Any insight into this conundrum would help a lot. =]
