One of the challenges with today's students is to get them to take ownership in their education. We assign tasks with deadlines but they always seem to want to push it to the limit. Commonly asked questions are," What do I need to do to get a 70". Are they really OK with mediocrity?? By putting them on a "Performance Contract", does this really make them take ownership, or does it give them just enough to push just a little harder and not excell?
