  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 would give rewards less frequently and only give out prizes on bigger successes so they don't get in the habit of receiving something after every thing they complete.
