Since I am not an instructor, some of this module was not as practical for me. However, I do see the value of finding out what motivates my individual students so that I can help them stay focused. My part in the process has a lot to do with reinforcement since I am often the one who conveys encouragement about exams passed or milestones achieved. One thing I learned here was about immediate reinforcement. We are able to return exam grades very quickly since they are computer scored. However, we are much slower about returning written assignments and I can see that students get frustrated about this. They put much more of themselves into a written assignment than an exam and want to have quicker feedback. This is something I hope to work on in our system.
