ABSTRACT
This chapter explores several kinds of motivators that readers can use for the benefit of their photo studies and practice. Understanding that about themselves can cause them to work closely with their professor, follow the instructions on the syllabus, and pay attention to how their finished assignment photos line up with the expected outcomes on the rubrics. That praise and recognition drives them to focus on their photography and maybe even to be productive. If it matters to them that their professors, peers, and others think highly of their work and their level of performance, then these are the extrinsic forces that can help them turn their attention toward their work. Because the practice of photography can help build their confidence, it can cause them to feel self-satisfied in their abilities.
