We have all taken courses in which we were less motivated to complete the work and perform at our best than we were in other courses. Think back to a course you took at either the undergraduate or graduate levels that sparked your intrinsic motivation to achieve. What was it about that course that drove you? Did the professor incorporate your personal preferences or draw from your personal experience in someway in order to guide the course?

Now reflect on a course from undergrad or grad school that you had to trudge through. What was it about that course that you recall being especially lackluster? Was it the content itself or the delivery? Was there anything from that course that you try not to recreate in your own? Why not?

Reflect on these questions as you contribute to the following discussion board and read the assigned articles for this module.
