Book excerpt: The title of the book, Motivating Students by Design, was chosen because the author explains how professors can motivate students intentionally through the design of their courses. The primary purpose of this book is to present practical strategies that professors can implement in their courses. Based on decades of research, Dr. Brett Jones presents a framework to organize teaching strategies that motivate students. All of the strategies presented are followed by several examples, which provide readers with over 100 ideas for how the strategies can be implemented in courses. This book will be useful to graduate students and beginning professors, as well as professors who are more experienced and want to refine their instruction or implement new strategies.
