Abstract
This paper explains the process of redesigning a course to maximize student motivation, satisfaction, and learning. The process is applicable across all disciplines in any institution. Student evaluations from the old design garnered complaints of irrelevance, inefficient use of class time, and a lack of student engagement. The redesign was grounded in motivational research. The redesign included eliminating the textbook, individualizing assignments, providing direct application, and offering student choice; the course evaluations improved.
