Tactic 2:

= Strategy 2: Reward students for pursuing their personal development goals =

<li>

Tactic:

<li>

Allow formation of groups to define their own problem statement for an extra credit semester-long project that applies the theoretical principles learned in class on a topic of interest of the students

<li>

After 4 weeks of accelerated instructional lectures that cover all the fundamental theoretical principles of the class, the project is released. As a result, the students will be able to apply theoretical principles taught in class on a project that lies within an area of interest to them, ensuring that they visualize the curriculum of the class as a stepping stone in achieving their personal goals

</li>

<li>

Giving the students the opportunity to define their own problem statement will trigger their curiosity to explore the material to a deeper level of understanding

</li>

<li>

The group project will foster a collaborative culture instead of the competitive culture that is present in most classroom environments, that will extend beyond the group project module to the lectures, recitations, written assignments etc
