Abstract
This poster will examine how metacognition and motivation are connected in undergraduate students at Eastern Kentucky University. Undergraduates are responsible for their own success, so why do some students push through mounds of homework they don't want to finish while others let incomplete assignments slide by? How do academic motivations reflect the way students think about learning?
