In ch. 7 we learned about the Expectancy theory. This theory states that a person is motivated if they believe 3 things.

1. They are able to complete the task.

-I have used this first step during the semester while having to complete school work or study for test. I set goal for myself and if i accomplished this goal then I knew i would feel good about my efforts

2. The Task will be rewarded.

- You have to reward yourself every once in a while in order to keep from goin crazy

3. They value the reward.

-The reward has to be something that will actually make you feel good about what you have done. In my case, I would stop by and grab myself a 6 pack on the way back from school and relax and have a couple before I had to start the journey all over again.
