Adding Spice to a Mundane Lecture Topic

Ask an professor today: Getting 19- and 20-year-olds to pay attention for 50 minutes can be challenging. Double that when the course commander coordinator insists that all professors give essentially the same lecture.

To be sure, some of the topics in my Introduction to Information Systems class appeal to more to members of iGen than others. On one side of the spectrum, artificial intelligence and privacy tend to evoke strong student reactions—or at least sustain their interest throughout the class. On the other, few subjects typically meet with more indifference than business processes.
