Making Your Expectations Clear

Public

Discussion:

Hi Gregrey,
You are on the right path with your instructional planning. Keep up the good work. Make sure as you share the expectations of the course with your students that you keep the segments of both content and assignments small enough they can see how they can complete them. Often times students become overwhelmed at the beginning of a course and just give up because they don't see how they can do all that is required. If they are given the assignments one at a time they feel they can complete the requirements.
