I often give rewards to my students but didn't realize that it could be a negative is given to much. I also want to identify what  intrinsically motivates each one of my students.

I have learned to keep the students motivated by understanding the power of choice which falls under the Autonomy part of the previous module. I will start giving my students more choices when considering certain assignments. 

I have to keep the students interested and motivated

I Learned that learnativity. I will the concept of learnativity by keeping the active and progressive during class time. 

Instructor Enthusiasm is very important for student motivation. I will apply this by being Enthusiastic each day I am teaching my class.

Learn to see the classroom and lab how the students see them so that you can get a better understanding of how they think and learn. Also to listen to the students that may have problems or issues with people and suggest solutions for them to show them that you are there for them and want them to succeed.

I have learned that a good strategy for repeating mistakes is to make notes about how lectures, demonstrations worked for me. 

Developing a relationship with each student helps you develop a sense of his or her abilities and discipline. I implement this by having weekly one on ones with each of my students going forward. 

I have learned center of attention students can be used a positive and not a negative. I will use their energy and always wanting to talk or be center stage when class is dragging or when the students began to get disengaged. 

What I have learned from this course is to be very clear about what is expected from the students while the semester is session. I have learned that I need to make sure that students understand how they  will be graded on assignments, make sure that they now what are the major goals and parts of the course, and also to make sure they understand the consequences for turning in homework and assignments late and how it affects their grade.
