I'm a graduate student in biological sciences and I just finished an intensive, three-day seminar on college teaching. We covered a huge amount of information in a short time, and it was very productive, but due to time constraints we did not get a chance to discuss some of the topics in depth. This blog is an attempt to expand my (and hopefully your) thoughts on ways to increase student motivation, in particular to help students transition from being externally motivated (by grades, fear of failing, etc.) to being internally motivated (curious and engaged out of self-interest).
I hope you'll share your thoughts. Thanks for visiting my blog!
