I allow a few points to up grade but they must first get the work in - this small incentive (though most do not actually take advantage of it because of their own time restraints) seems to get some motivated.  Yes, it does increase the grading time on my part. 

 

I have students access building codes AS THEY NEED THEM for credit rather than give a print out with the codes and a test on having memorized them,  When they can look up the required clearances around a water fountain to accommodate a wheelchair then incorporate tht information into their drawing it becomes meaningful and gives them the tools to stay current with this information. 

ED 115 on Soft Skills reminds us that information and our technical knowledge
about our course is only 15% of our success per studies conducted. It is a good
reminder - without appropriate attitude and empathy - we will not succeed.
