Chapter 1, Understanding Motivation, August 29-September 4



It was great meeting you on the blog last week and learning about your educational journeys. We have a great variety of students in the class and many different educational backgrounds. This diversity makes for interesting discussion and sharing of ideas.

For this week, share your ideas on motivation with other students in this course.

Please read Chapter 1 in College and Career Success Online before commenting on any of these questions.

Remember to make 2 postings of 100 words minimum for each posting to get the full 20 points for the blog this week. Postings for this week are due before 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, September 4.  

You can choose to write on any of these questions.  
      
1. How do you motivate yourself to be successful?

2. Are there some new ideas on motivation in Chapter 1 that you find interesting or helpful?

3. If you are thinking about dropping this class or dropping out of college, how can you motivate yourself to continue?

4. What are some roadblocks to your success and how can you overcome them?

5. Read comments posted by other students. Are any of their ideas useful to you?


You can also write anything about your experience in starting college or beginning this course. You can ask questions about anything related to college and career success or comment on others students' postings.
