Abstract:

Those who are involved with teaching introductory Animal Science courses are aware of the many changes that have occurred and are occurring in the student make-up of classes. There have been several reports that have stated the increasing number of urban students majoring in Agriculture (Anderson and Elkins, 1978; Burger and Brandenburg, 1979; Mayer, 1980: Mortensen, 1981; Waldren et al., 1983). We must recognize these changes and be willing to restructure courses to meet the needs and expectations of these students.
