  Case: Student Motivation
I teach foreign language and for two of my three courses there is no final required at the end of the year and no Student Learning Objective. Students know that all they have to do to complete the class, is pass. Students will therefore take their grade of a C, even when given the opportunity to improve it, and move on. What can I do to increase the student's intrinsic motivation? How can I encourage them to try harder- to push for an A or B instead of a C?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
That is a tough situation. It is hard to motivate students to do extra work when they have no true reason to do so. That being said I feel you have to find a way to make these students WANT to do extra. Try to find ways to make activities interactive and integrate fun into the learning process.
