Adult learners and career-oriented students respond to the "reality" of humor. Whether using light sarcasm, irony, or spotlighting current idiocies found in real life, the students will relax and place credibility with the instructor. The actions or events spotlighted can be used as examples for teaching specific points being covered. In addition, students can share humorous happenings from their lives that shed a credible light on the subject being covered.
