Intrinsic and extrinsic motivators are both important in the adult learning process. 

When students are confident in their ability to succeed at an assignment, they are more likely to have motivation to participate. 

I have learned to share my first hand experiences and to remain empathetic and enthusiastic!

Motivating students is important, but isn't necessarily difficult if you're focused on doing your job correctly.  Showing up, being present and active in the classroom, and sharing your excitement for the field is really all you have to do.

Crisis situations would be a fun exercise to have in the classroom and would certainly lift the mundanity of digging through the code. Furthermore, the triage tip is something I'll take with me to my grave.… >>>
