Hi Tammy, You are following the steps for successful teaching. Letting the students know what is expected of them, providing them with documentation of the requirements, and then reminding them throughout the course of the requirements will keep them on their toes for completing the course requirements. You might want to spend a few minutes at the beginning of each class asking if there are any questions about the upcoming assignments. Often you will find that there is a misunderstanding concerning the assignments that has grown into “urban legend” status and this can cause many problems within the class. By keeping on top of exactly what is required rather than what is thought to be required will help you move the class along. Good Teaching. Gary
