Discussing and running through a good course/syllabus break down helps alot!
It's important to have clear expectations for the student.
I had wondered what would be the best way of dealing with students who constantly have excuses for incomplete assignments etc and how to determine if they are telling the truth or fabricating excuses. I appreciated the point that it is better to give the benefit of the doubt because it would be worse to deny accomidation to a student in genuine need then to allow accomidation to a student that is making excuses. That kind of behaviour will not serve them in the work place and will eventually cause them issues that they will need to be accountable for.
The most common reason stated for not having an assignment done on time was not knowing when it was due. Being clear with assignment due dates and policy for late submissions provides clarity for students and allows students with heavier course loads to manage there time more effectively and get the most from these assignments.
Stress cab reduced using many methods such as deppbreathing exercises, walking in the sun 15 min, sleeping on time, reduce screen time.
Take a break during work hours as a short walk. Take deep breaths. Talk about your stress. learn coping skills to deal with day to day issues.
I learned that be organized, manage time, make one list to do list., which can be revised weekly.
Get organize. Manage time and tasks. Write a list things you need to do then prioritize which task need to be done first and which can be done later. And then check on the task daily and cross out as you do the tasks. Do not procrastinate.
I will be asking the students to take breaks, bring positive energy into the class, exercise, ask them to learn the rationale why you do something in learning .
