James Lang’s Cheating Lessons chapter “Fostering Intrinsic Motivation” explores the ways instructor choices shape and encourage students’ inner motivation. These topics seem particularly relevant for instructors wondering whether lack of motivation might factor in students’ desires to use generative AI. Whether AI is on your mind or not, thinking about how we can design and present assignments that trigger motivation is important. We’ll read Lang’s chapter—available online via Howe Library—and talk about how it applies to spring classes.
