Clearly Define Expectations and Offer Feedback
When an instructor clearly defines course expectations, it gives students a clear sense of direction. Frequent and timely feedback to students allows them to assess their progress and make adjustments to their study strategies.
Tips:
Create a detailed syllabus that describes course requirements and lists due dates for assignments.
Provide specific criteria and examples for course projects and assignments whenever possible.
Consider the alignment between what you teach and what you test.
Evaluate students knowledge throughout the course
Build flexibility into your attendance and testing policies to maintain expectations but allow for unforeseen situations. For example, some instructors allow students to drop one quiz score.
