Question for teachers: How do you nudge students to work harder?

High school English teacher and reader Nate Stearns poses three questions to Nudge blog readers:

1. Would struggling students work harder if they were placed in a classroom with hard-working students?
2. Would students work harder if they did all their work inside a classroom instead of relying on homework?
3. Does immediate feedback affect work ethic? Do students respond differently to instant electronically graded quizzes or essays than to those that are graded by teachers, one-by-one and returned a week later?
