As it turns out, I teach this in Psychology, but it was a nice way to see it applied in the classroom. I try to stress the importance of their own autonomy, reminding them that their grade is their choice, and encouraging them to seek out assistance from me or other school resources. I also attempt to bring to them many different teaching tools to reach every learning style. And offering them applied methods for psychology hopefully taps into both extrinsic and intrinsic learning.

I've only taught this class once before and I learn best in lectures, as I'm not big on group projects or discussion. My ol' introvert coming out! But I want to have a more active learning environment. I don't usually have a problem garnering discussion, but I think even a change in the classroom layout may be in order...
