While I think that rewards would motivate unmotivated students or students who may drop out, what about the students who already get good grades and have intrisic motivation?  I worry that they will then begin to feel that they need a reward before performing on the same level: they will lose thier internal drive.  We would need to find a way to create a good balance between external and internal motivations.
