Two discussion classes were included in a required general education course titled "Health and Sport Science" to determine their feasibility and utility. Ninety-five freshmen participated in the discussion classes, and the course consisted of 12 classes total. The primary purposes of this investigation were to examine students' attitudes toward the discussion classes in addition to any positive effects these classes may have had on student learning. Results showed that over 90% of the students recognized the significance or effectiveness of discussion classes and had a good opinion of discussion classes. In particular, students reported that discussion classes led to a favorable atmosphere (fun, pleasure, friendly atmosphere, etc.). Students also appeared to adapt to the discussion format over the two sessions. Compared to the first, students spent more time in preparation for, and spoke more frequently during the second discussion class. These results suggest that introducing discussion classes may be an appealing method to improve general education courses.
