<p>I enjoyed learning about various methods to increase student involvement and participation.&#160; I do agree that student motivation and self confidence are increased by giving them opportunities to be a proactive member of the learning process; and collecting their feedback on assignments, etc...that are based on shared learning goals or future career goals (seeing how this will benefit their success in their career).&#160; I especially liked the information regarding developing rapport and collaboration; giving students a chance to see themselves as professionals is very important for developing intrinsic motivation.</p>
