The document discusses research into incorporating humor in the classroom to motivate students. It notes problems with narrow focus on testing and lack of fun for students. The research tested using humor in lectures, assessments, and assessment directions. Results from exam scores and informal assessments found the data was not statistically significant to draw definitive conclusions about humor's impact. However, researchers observed students with less fatigue and more excitement with humor. The study will continue to refine humor use and obtain more data to draw stronger conclusions.
