Motivation after Spring Break

Duquesne University: Returning from spring break is hard for faculty and students. Whether you used break for fun or work, getting back on track and regaining momentum are essentials for successfully completing the semester. Motivation is a factor that both students and faculty must nurture.

I guess this article is meant as a refresher for both teachers and students about not letting spring fever and letting complacency take over. I think it falls short of that, however, but simply restating basic techniques for conveying and absorbing information. As a student, I can get a little annoyed at advice like "play a video" or "play relevant music", because unless they are actually related and integral to the material being discussed, they come off as gimmicks meant to make teachers seem hip or in touch with the young folks, which is a little silly.
