  Case: Motivation or Desire to be Rewarded?
In a classroom I observe, there are certain prizes students win by completing work, getting 100's, etc. I'm not sure if the students are completely absorbing the information, or just want to quickly complete it to gain a reward. Is there a way to reward students while also not ensuring hard work is involved?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I suggest not rewarding students after completing work or getting 100's. While they are at school, students are expected to complete work because it will grow their knowledge. They should not be rewarded for little things like completion since it is the expectation.

Comments: While you make a valid point, I feel that this solution does not take all students into account. For example, each student has different individual needs and it is always best to keep that in mind.

Comments: I think that this is a great solution to the case study. I think giving students a reward for something specific they did in class instead of something general like particaption.
