In my opnion motivating students can be a challange and is an art. I have been teaching 16 years and in every class you all know the student's I'm talking about the one or two that your not sure why they are paying good money to be there. That's the ones we have to take the time to work with to understand why they are acting in that manor. Then the learning can start !
Good luck and remember security, autonomy, intrinsic & extrinsic...........Fun is a a great way of motivating students !!
