Life beyond Grades: Designing College Courses to Promote Intrinsic Motivation

This book raises the question of whether or not educators can promote intrinsic motivation among college students when they seem overwhelmingly focused on grades. Indeed, can there be life beyond grades? The answer is ‘Yes’. A love of learning can coexist, even thrive, in the face of competing pressures from grades. Drawing on recent, ground-breaking classroom research, the authors articulate a new understanding of the causes of the stalemate between intrinsic and external motivation, so that a reconciliation between them can be achieved. Then the authors apply a powerful set of motivational and pedagogical principles to lay out a step-by-step blueprint for designing and teaching college courses that promote intrinsic motivation as a primary educational goal in its own right, above and beyond knowledge and skill acquisition. This practical blueprint draws on authentic case study examples from a variety of subject-matter disciplines.

Weight Loss: Beginner?s Guide to Weight Loss: Mindset and Philosophy, Diet Plans for Health & Fitness, Weight Loss Motivation, Lose Fat & Destroy Sedentary Lifestyle

Fitness comes before anything. We all want to be fit, whether in terms of our mental health or the appearance that we show to the surroundings that are our physical outcome. A person who is fit is capable of leading a happy life. It plays a crucial role in our lives. Our fit and sound state make us capable of carrying our life’s issues in a sound and steady state. Fitness does not only refer to being physically fit and toned, rather it includes the mental state as well. How does a person react to different stages of life that show up during the course of living, how does he handle the ups and downs of life, how he manages all that goes against the wind and so on. Being fit and healthy would not only involve the flat stomach and toned abs which we all think about but the firm state of our mental and emotional health too. Physical fitness requires a change in life. Cutting those extra carbohydrates because you know they are not good for you, giving up on your habit of unnecessary munching, taking care of the number of calories you consume daily because you realize that the extra junk in the trunk will hamper your health and different organs in the long run; these are all those little steps that we take for our own betterment. In order to carry a sound state of mind a person would be physically active, he should incorporate into activities, he should move around, he should adopt a healthy lifestyle; ultimately all of this is going to lead to a stable state of mind and a better life.
