I especially appreciated Dr. Shank's reminder that adult "Nontraditional" students need real world connections to classroom material, particularly when the lecture of the day contains mostly theoretical information. As professors, I think we sometimes get caught up in our own respect for brilliant theories and principles and we tend to forget that adult students are listening to these lectures in terms of possible applications to their own lives.
