I agree with the comment about too much extrinisc motivation..."you get an 'A' or 'atta boy' just for participating, not for real motivation, hard work and effort." I did enjoy the course, and learned some good techniques that I will try incorporating in my classroom. I have a wide range of students, from right out of highschool to adults, in my classes, so these techniques should be very helpful.

This course is great. It will help me tremendously as I am a first year instructor, but I think this would also be a good refresher for the verteran instructor. I would recommend this course to everyone!

Are there guidelines that regulate how a student's attendance and/or participation and genuine interest in doing well in the classes they have enrolled control their abilty to receive federal loans to ensure they are not there just to receive such benefits?

I really liked this course. It is always helpful to get more educated on the adult learner and the differences in age and how this affects their learning capabilities/styles. I would recommend this course. It was very interesting and got me thinking about many topics/techniques I use in the classroom
