Motivating Students
Sometimes it can be hard to movitate a student who just doesn't care, but I always do my best to try anything that might spark an interest in why they enrolled in the first place. I had a student that just felt like quitting. I had a talk with the student and found out why. Once i made some minor adjustments, my student started getting better grades. Felt great!

A good strategy for motivating students is by linking the class content to real-life situations. That way, students are able to grasp a much better understanding of the importance of completing the course.
Stanley,
Thank you for sharing this example of how you were able to help a student with just a little time and effort. These interactions with students help us to be able to customize our instruction and provide support for our students in specific ways.
