I found the article “The Six C’s of Motivation” to be extremely interesting and shared many views with the author. Although brief it was well researched and all points raised were well supported. By commencing the article with a scenario and then linking the scenario to the 6 Key Words it further strengthened the argument that the Wang and Han were illustrating.

I strongly agree that giving students tasks that allow them to have ownership as well as a sense of control only enhances their motivation and interest and their willingness to participate. Understanding why learning experiences take place is frequently overlooked however throughout this article there are many references to not only the importance of this element but the benefits as well. I believe that this vital to the learning process.

The layout of the article also appeals to me in that it is concise with each of the key points under the heading of a key word.
