My students don’t come to lecture.

Students are bored because they are not innately interested in the content and they don’t see the relevance to their academic and/or professional goals.

Strategies:

Use material that connects with students.

Embed examples, applications, and topics within lectures that either connect to students’ fields of study and/or resonate with the culture and interests of this generation of students.
