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!) I would suggest putting a final on your syllabus. If students receive an A or B, they can opt out of taking the final and any student that has a C will have to take it. This may motivate students to push harder to get an A or B because many of them will not want to take a final for the course.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a great idea.
