Professor maginty asks her students to work on some creative writing in class one day, giving them the freedom to write about anything that interests them. they all do very good work, and submit excellent, creative essays. the next day she asks them to do the same thing but promises them all extra credit if their work is very good. how will applying an external reward to the writing impact the students' motivation?

Based on the scenario above, it is likely that applying the

external reward to the writing can impact the students’ motivation in a way

that it will likely decrease because the professor applied what she taught to

them yesterday making the students feel less motivated as it is not something

new to do.
