thanks to God. And on the 12th of May, 1828, I heard a loud noise in the heavens, and the Spirit instantly appeared to me and said the Serpent was loosened, and Christ had laid down the yoke he had borne for the sins of men, and that I should take it on and fight against the Serpent, for the time was fast approaching when the first should be last and the last should be first.
This occurred at a time when the enslavers were beating, raping, breaking apart families, making examples of slaves or destroying family units by selling people. A time when the black man had no rights. For Nat Turner to stand up to enslavers and kill them was pretty bold. He knew the consequence of being caught would be death. I can't imagine a time that death would be better than life or the drive for vengeance so strong that the choice of killing is made.

voidance when they are working with smaller, more manageable tasks
Yes! A huge final project with small tasks for it along the way. Almost by default it's done by the end of the semester.

Worse in the summer?

“why” of a course
Relevance is so important. Sometimes hard to nail down for each individual student.
-
you are really smart!
C. (nephew) is a walking example of this. He feels that because he is smart (as he was always told) he doesn't need to try. And, failure means he's failing those who thought he was smart but were clearly wrong.

asic needs— mastery, relatedness, and autonomy
I see this as a much more universal maxim.

ntrinsic drive toward growth
I would love to see research on this. I am often flummoxed by people who do not wish to grow.

parent who has been working all day to keep his temper with the kids might lack the will to turn off the TV after dinner and go fi nish his term pa-per
Sometimes I wish there was a parenting manual. I would give this it's own heading!

Self- control is a limited resource— we can keep it up for only so much time before it fails, a psychological pro cess known as ego depletion. M
I have always viewed self-contril as an infinite resource, and have always taken it hard when the (inevitable) ego depletion happens. This gives me much food for thought on patience with students.
-
think they can.
This reminds me of the Picasso quote I have on my wall: "I am always doing that which I cannot do in order that I may learn how to do it."
-
Achievement- oriented people seek out— and are very motivated by— the opportunity to set and accomplish goals
This made me think of Mike's comment last residency about me wanting a badge for everything. It's totally true. I love a good physical representation of an earned skill.
-
worthy, capable person
I can see how this can raise drop-out rates in higher ed and the shunning of the "hopeless" cases in k-12
-
because it connects to a long- term career plan
I identified with this on a personal level.
-
xternal consequences could actu-ally detract from people’s motivation
Anxiety at the task now becoming high stakes?
-
orches-trating online learning experiences
I have seen several ways that universities have attempted to address this before a student registers. A notice at registration login, a notice after, a general notice before the semester starts. However, I think there is an individual's belief in success that is unrealistic to their actual practice.

As most of us learn early on in our teaching lives
I have thought a lot about this since beginning teaching. I did not take any teacher ed classes before this program, despite working two years in a public school. I have wondered if this was a taught skill in undergrad programs, and how to gain those skills for myself.

As we will see later in this chapter, motivational problems that look purely emotional in nature— avoiding academic effort, reacting poorly to feedback, procrastination— are in fact heavily rooted in beliefs. The good news is that, as with any beliefs, it’s possible to modify these dysfunctional thoughts with the right persuasive techniques
This made me almost laugh in that funny/not funny way. This is precisely what happened to me with this assignment
