Motivation Project

In this project, you will create a

Padlet

presentation to identify and apply motivation concepts that will be helpful to your academic journey. Motivation is essential for academic and professional success because it is the drive that gets us to begin and complete tasks. This project examines the connection between motivation and academic success and assesses your application of the motivation concepts.
