I'm working on another degree right now and I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. Frankly, what it comes down to is, I don't like busy work. And that's what these "professors" seem to be putting out these days. It's like they've gotten lazy or something. Giving out the same assignments, the same tests every semester and all you have to do is call the last guy that took their course to get pointers. It's like they don't want to motivate anyone to learn anymore. Just come in, read your chapters, take your finals get your sheepskin and be on your way. And they expect us to motivate ourselves about their tired boring lectures week after week? I know, it might sound like an excuse, but the teachers can put forth at least some effort to at least make their material a little more interesting so that people would be a little more motivated to do well in the course.
Since there's pretty much no way around it, the main motivational factor for me to get through these courses is that I can't get the next job up the career ladder without this degree I'm working on right now.
In the end, it comes down to reading that book week after week looking forward to what lies ahead.
