Obviously there are several different factors that motivate students. Some have simple motivaters, such as the wanting of a good education with a good GPA, others need more visual items or even an instructor with a lot of enthusiasm. All students seem to need some sort of motivation, but whether it be simple or complex, it is a good atmosphere for a good education if a variety of motivaters are present in the classroom. Younger students seem to need more than the returning adults, but an instructor that enjoys his/her job is a very good start to the obvious visual motivator as well as continuing the motivation throughout the course.
