For example, if a student has a good assignment, the teacher will call the student's name and give a tick, give a prize and say "well done, good job and perfect assignment".
Negative reinforcement is where the teacher punishes students if they do not concentrate on the For example, the teacher asks students to stand up in class, if students do not concentrate on the material, if students come late the teacher gives punishment, and if students have bad assignments then the teacher gives red link in student notebook.
