Thread:Adult Education Goals (1)

I would like to initiate a discussion regarding the goals of adult education. As adults, what do you hope to get out of a class, besides the credits? Regardless of the course content, what expectations do you have?

I hope to gain access to resources and incorporate that information with my existing knowledge, or use it to challenge that schema. I look forward to sharing my experiences, while others share theirs, and together expand their meaning. I am constantly looking for application of ideas from classes into my work, research, life, etc. I appreciate being acknowledged, validated, and challenged. How about you?

How are we accomplishing this for our students?
