Abstract: Students can achieve self-motivation and a broader appreciation of computing by reading widely about computing. This paper advocates discussing self-motivation with students, and suggesting that they read widely as a means to that end. A discussion of how to present these ideas effectively, and an annotated list of suggested readings, appropriate for undergraduate majors in computing, are included. 1 Introduction Since a student's motivation and interest are important factors in how...
