The very question belies something wrong with the curriculum of a student. The specific fault may lie on a variety of parties or a combination thereof, but clearly something is amiss. If the student doesn't want to learn, then why are they in the class? If most of the material of the class is relevant but some is not, why hasn't it been made clear which parts are important? Or if none of the material is of any interest, why is the student being forced to take the class?
These questions are especially relevant in college, where presumably students are taking their lives into their own hands and charting their paths through the world. It should be a given that they are only taking the courses that they want to take, be it out of interest or acknowledged necessity, both predicated on their own belief in the benefits the new knowledge or experience will hold for them. :)
