Motivating students
In my opinion, motivation is a key element to a course's success; I feel it energizes students in different ways and “pushes” them to do better.
Hi Albert,
Rapport is a powerful motivator. Students that have rapport with their instructors strive to please and learn because they want the instructor to feel that they are students of merit. From the students' perspective it is good to be recognized for your abilities and effort and this helps to build rapport as well.

The best way to get a student to want to learn is to motivate them to want to perform. One great way to establish a rapport with them and show them that you are genuine and nthat you really do care about them as a person and want to do your best to help that student proser and grow.
motivation is an important key to a course's success. The key is knowing what motivates the different students in your class. What works for one student will not work for another.
a unmotivated student will not apply themselves to a subject or task. therefore it is a part of teaching to kepp them motivated and set goals for this to happen
