David, very creative and innovative. Thanks for sharing. James Jackson
Lori, you will find that your intrinsic motivators are the things that students take away most from their experience with you and your classroom. It is hard to fake it if you are not truly into your course materials and your students. The extrinsic motivators are always there but will be more a result of your intrinsic behaviors. Regards, James Jackson
Chris, I like study guides. I tend to also add some information that is above what they will see on the test so as to keep the focus of the test neutral and provide a better assessment of their knowledge of the materials. Regards, James Jackson
