Faculty Support Ideas:

Agricultural students tend to be very uncomfortable with classes and students in humanities and vocally question the need for these classes. General Education courses are viewed as a series of separate hurdles toward a diploma rather than useful tools on which to base a career.

A general education instructor might motivate agricultural students by incorporating agricultural type questions and issues into the course content such as relating change to rural as well as urban issues when possible.

There are opportunities for agricultural majors to participate in faculty research. Visit the agriculture web page "Research" to view the current projects. http://www.wku.edu/Dept/Academic/Ogden/Agriculture/Sleugh'sProject.htm
