Late assignments are always a problem in any teaching arean. Reminding students in several ways and on several accounts that when the due dates are and the epectations regarding late work is necessary to establish boundaries and allow for studnet planning and success.

Prep for the class, have an agenda, and discuss the agenda and expectations up front, answer questions to clarify agenda.

I have learned that a combination of being a role model, motivator, and manager are all key components of successful and integrative instruction. This will keep students engaged and motivated to be interested in their fields of study.
