You believe that many students perform poorly because of motivational problems, including simple lack of motivation as well as being motivated by the wrong things. What are some of the considerations that should guide the design of your program?
• Some psychologists have suggested that the function of emotions is to motivate the organism. What do you think this means? Illustrate your points with examples.
