Meg – yes, the appreciation needs to be genuine, and the expression often needs to be tailored to the individual. What makes some people feel appreciated leaves others cold.

I think the biggest issue in motivation is just making people feel appreciated! Sadly this can't be forced, fake appreciation would just backfire! Meg's last blog post..All Artichoked Up

I think the motivation really needs to come from the student. Of course the teacher should do everything s/he can to inspire the students and present the subjects in an interesting way – but that won’t count for much unless the student is keen to learn.

Beth — great to hear your manager is so switched on to your motivation to learn. As a fellow learnaholic I can understand what a difference is that must make!

Soul — Having been a student a few times, I’m not sure they are are all that different to the rest of us.

Ideally, a student would be taking a course because he or she found it interesting and wanted to do it. If that’s not the case I’d ask why you’re doing the course at all? It would probably be more rewarding to switch to another subject. Does that help?
