Next Time We'll Have A Guest Speaker

Instructors on Planet College strive earnestly to make their subject interesting to their students. One common tactic is a guest speaker. Whatever the subject, the guest is usually an authority, involved in the field, and typically not another instructor. Your instructors use guest speakers to liven up the term which can often, especially around now, become a kind of droning drudgery.

Often when a guest speaker is announced the average students response is,
"Oh good, I can skip class."

If this has been your usual attitude this term go. Go, and listen to the guest speaker. Listen carefully to what they have to say. Guest speakers provide a fresh angle on the course content, often illuminating the subject from the angle of a working professional. And that is they key. Whoever they are, they are probably working in the field. While the subject of the course may not be the field you intend to work in, the guests insights might provide stimulation for your career quest. Their talk may provoke possibilities as yet not considered by you.

Even if you are right now absolutely convinced that you will never work in the field which is the topic of the course, listening to this speaker can at least broaden your horizon. That is why you are on Planet College, among many reasons. This time give the guest speaker a chance, show up and listen, you may find a whole new career possibility.
